I have just discovered this channel and loved it! Genuinely appreciated for all of those great and super beneficial context. You guys definitely have something different to people rather than other rehab guys.
Ur anti bullshit content is so refreshing to watch. Im a Physio-Student in Germany and your Videos Help me alot to classify things i learn in school. Keep it Up !
Great video! Quick question, many people say to only do external rotation with light weights but how much weight do you think is a good number as an indicator of strong external rotators?
Most the research I have read and programs implementing this exercise, were for either rehab or sports training were throw power was needed. A low weight is used as the rotator cuff is mainly stabilization and not a big muscle group. When I use this is exercise I will use around ten to fifteen pounds on cable machine and do anywhere between 10-20 reps each side.
Hi there. I have read that it is necessary to have stronger the muscles involved in external rotation than in internal rotation. Are these true or can you work with the same intensity?
Considering the fact that the rotator cuff shows high muscle activity during push and pull movements, do you incorporate isolation movements for rotation when patients can tolerate push/pull movements. What considerations do you make when it comes to exercise selection? Thanks in advance
To maximize stress to a given tissue for optimizing strength, hypertrophy, etc., isolation exercises can be beneficial - bicep curls, heel raises, hamstring curls, leg extensions, resisted wrist flexion/extension, etc. Probably also beneficial to include rotational exercises for overhead athletes. You definitely don't have to include them for a lot of individuals, but doesn't have to be an either/or scenario either.
Thank you so much for watching! Check out our blog to learn more about rotator cuff training: e3rehab.com/blog/rotatorcuff
This is the best exercise video. You explain things really well.I am subscribing now. Do you have have any videos on hypertrophy or body building?

Awesome video thanks!
This was such a helpful information! Thank you so much! I did not want to carry extra towel to the gym 😅

When using a towel I could feel rotator cuff burn earlier with less reps, so I am think it gave me more activation for me.
