Top 6 Exercises for Rotator Cuffs | Strong Shoulders Pt. 1
(READ BELOW FOR HOW MANY REPS TO DO)
In this episode we introduce "the lazy traffic cop", "the reluctant dog feeder", and more awesome exercises to keep the all important external rotators strong and healthy.
These muscles are vital for climbing, and if they are not trained can lead to a lot of shoulder pain and/or injuries. The video shows a progression of exercises, starting from easier and progressively getting harder.
For sets and reps, think about what your goals are. Are you bouldering and looking for more strength? Think lower rep, higher resistance (3-4 sets of 8 reps). Vice versa, are you doing multi pitch and looking for endurance? Think higher rep, lower resistance (3-4 sets of 20 reps). With any exercise, for it to be effective you want to feel fatigued or feel the muscle burn if you are looking for physiological changes.

My rotator cuffs got stronger just watching this
Your videos are out of this world, thank you!
This changed my traiing and warmup routine! Thanks!
love the addition of workout names at the bottom! very helpful. Still think hoops should be shirtless, we all know it's 95 degrees in that gym... ;)
This is great. Thanks so much for the info. Can you possibly do a video for someone who has to deal with a shoulder that’s prone to dislocation? I seemed to make it resistant for 2 1/2 years since the last, but recently happened again. Thanks!
I love the videos! Keep them coming Hooper! I would love to see some follow up videos where you teach a stranger or noob how to do these exercises so you can correct their mistakes.
Nice stuff and Very Well explained. 👍👍
Nice video. I will try incorporating these into my workouts :-)
superb content
I searched this kind of video for an enternity!
Good video!
This explains a lot.
Saved this one.
Nice I like a lot ❤
Thanks for this Video, like the exercises a lot! Can you do them as a circuit or do you need to rest after each exercise?
This video made me chuffed, I mean cuffed
I was directed here from your shoulder impingement video. I've just managed to get this in both shoulders from swimming and did these exercises this afternoon before then icing. They now are more painful and I am wondering if these are exercises to do while suffering from SIS, or for strengthening to prevent it happening again? Are there more gentle versions/other exercises to be doing in the acute phase? Really don't want to be out of action from climbing and swimming for long!! Thanks in advance 🙂
Hey I think a really helpful video would be a wrist and elbow tendonitis buster combo!
Your top 6 is my top1 video ;)
Came across your videos after a shoulder impingement and you’ve helped me to recover and strengthen my shoulders, so thank you! Wanted to ask if the rear delts pay much of a role in stabilising the shoulders for climbing?
