I will be incorporating some or all of the following rotator cuff exercises into my routine as often per week as is optimal
http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/Bac...#anchor1676042
Currently, I do chest and upper back Monday, quads Tuesday, rest Wednesday, biceps/triceps Thursday and lower back/hamstrings and shoulders Friday, rest Saturday and Sunday.
How often per week can I safely train my rotator cuffs without overworking them?
Thanks
P.S. Yes, I read a bunch of the sticky. Sorry if I missed the answer.

depends on your goal, if someone is rehabbing. then they should do rotator cuff exercises 3 times per day. If your just trying to build up the area and strengthen it, then 2-3 x per week is more then enough.
I am a therapist and that is what I normally tell my patients.Got Pain? Lacking results? Check out my Thera-Strength program and manuals, it's the missing link in your training program http://Thera-Strength.com , Also follow me on my blog/website for even more helpful information http://TheStrengthDoctor.com

Two three times a week, light weight, strict and I mean strict form, takes practice to hit muscles of the cuff without accessory usage
more importantly though the exercises on the link you have are about a third of a total rotator cuff regimine, it doesnt matter if a doctor told you your subscap was inflamed, all the muscles of the RC cuff work synergistically...I dont have the time now but tomm I will post a simple yet effective rotator cuff strengthening protocol
