The Complete Shoulder and RC Injury Article
Here's an article that I've alluded to a few times that I had been working on. It's finally finished. I hope you like the final product. If you have any suggestions or comments, please let me know. I'd be happy to hear constructive criticisms on the article. My goal with this article was to make a single body of text that contained enough information for people to be busy with for awhile. I hope that people like it enough that the next time someone posts a thread asking about a shoulder injury, that they will get linked to this thread. I have tried to cover a lot of material (not just "OK, here's some RC exercises, now go do them" and that's it), and I hope you get something out of it. Thanks in advance for reading this article--I put a lot of time into it, so I hope you like it.
This is an excellent thread!
Thanks to all for doing the hard work and writing this up - this is really informative.
I just wanted to add that my shoulder problems were caused by me doing poor form on a lot of exercises. Now I make sure I "Lock" my shoulder blades in before doing any shoulder work. This has improved the feel of the exercise, protected my shoulders and isolates my shoulder really well.
Thanks for going to such an effort - I have forwarded this on two three of my friends with similar problems.
