Thread: Front raises hurt my shoulder

Front raises hurt my shoulder
It seems that the only shoulder exercises that dont make my rotator cuff hurt are db shoulder press and arnie presses... the other day on my 3rd rep of front raises I got a moderate pain in my shoulder and stopped immediatly. Is the case for anyone else or is my shoulder just ****ed? Also, are there any other exercises that I can do that im not thinking of that wont put a lot of stress on my rotator cuff?

I had/have some shoulder (Rotator Cuff and AC joint problems) and I would suggest to do some RC exercises and work on any muscular imbalances that you may have.
Search the forums for RC exercises, I know I have posted in a lot of them which included some great exercises that have helped me a lot.Current Stats --------------- Training Goals: Improve athletic conditioning.

I think this is just a shoulder flexibility issue and not a RC issue.

The time off from heavy overhead pressing and doing these exercises seemed to help a lot.

One thing you dont want to neglect are your rear delts. You may think they get enough work with rowing movements, but I would still add some cable rear delt or bent over rear delt work.Last edited by ericg; 01-24-2006 at 01:05 PM.

I have really shot rotator cuffs, i've been doing rotator cuff exercises several times every week and they dont bug me on bench anymore but still cant do any shoulder work.

I can't do very heavy side laterals becuase my shouders "tweak" ever so slightly. I've tried various form modifications and I'm down to something that works pretty good. So long as you can still do militaries, I think you'll be good to go.
