    Anyone Have Guidelines For A Rotator Cuff Program?

    After surgery more than 2 years ago, my rotator cuffs seem to be my achillies heel effecting my bench, shoulder press, etc, and I believe strengthening them will help take me to the next level. Becuase your rotator cuffs are red fibers which are more for endurance and require high reps, what should my program look like? What should my rest intervals be, # of sets, reps? As of now mine looks like this:

    Program done 3 times a week

    Lying External Rotation w/ 5lb weight 1 set 25 reps
    Superset with
    Lying Internal Rotation w/ 5lb weight 1 set 30 reps

    rest 30sec - 1 min

    (I dunno what this one is called) While Standing Elbow bent at 90° and at shoulder level external rotation 5lbs for 25 reps
    Superset with
    Cable Internal Rotation 30 reps
    Superset with
    Cable External Rotation 20-30 reps

    What do u think?
