If you’re reading this, chances are that you weight lift, and if you’re lifting weights you are definitely adding strain to your shoulders. Consider that nearly every workout you do which involves a dumbbell or bar involves your shoulders in some form. We may workout our larger shoulder muscles but we tend to neglect the minor ones.

The shoulder is made up of various muscles and joints, the rotator cuff being the most essential muscle. The rotator cuff allows our shoulders to move in multiple directions, unlike other joints which only go in one or two. This workout will strengthen the rotator cuff, while giving your shoulders elasticity and durability which will decrease your chances for injury so you can always lift to get the results you want.
