You will pay for it later, I'm speaking from a current condition of 3 tendon tears, chronic labrum and AC degeneration, tendinosis and osteophytes as a result of two moderate traumas in youth and early adulthood. If it's broke, get it fixed. YMMV, always get a second opinion before they slice and dice.

This guys an idiot, one of the first things he says in his video is wrong. First he said that the other three muscles rotate the arm internally then 5secs later saying the one muscle rotates the arm internally and the other three externally, haha cut the video after that, didn't even watch the rest.

Shoulder Rehab for Bodybuilders

The most common injury for a bodybuilder is a partial rotator cuff tear. In this video I show you how to nurse it back to health if you have injured it and if you dont have a rotator cuff problem, I show you how to keep it that way.

Bodybuilders make HORRIBLE patients when it comes to doing physical therapy rehabilitation exercises because we are used to pain.physical therapy.

my 9/13/2010 surgery

Written by Scooby on September 5, 2010

My upcoming shoulder surgery is not related to weight lifting. I feel this is important to point out because one point I repeat time and time again is that good form is essential for preventing injury. It would look mighty stupid if I got an injury from lifting weights! I have lifted 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year since 1983 without a single weight lifting injury or accident. A very common injury from using bad form at the gym is a torn rotator cuff – I do NOT have that. People screw up their rotator cuff all the time from:

letting their elbows go behind the plane of their back (bench, mil prs, lat pulldowns, etc)
using too much weight on shoulder exercises (these are really small muscles)
using ballistic pushes at the bottom of the range of motion
doing reps too fast
bouncing
jerking

Again, I do not have a rotator cuff injury, you dont want one either. A full rotator cuff tear will not heal by itself and requires surgery (expensive) and 6 months of rehab before you get your life back. Lift carefully, do not destroy your shoulder with bad form!

What I have is chronic shoulder tendonitis caused by impingement. I have two bone spurs (bumps on my bones) that poke into the shoulder joint at inconvenient locations narrowing the space where the tendons are supposed to be. Every time I move my shoulder, the tendons have to squish by those bumps and each crunch/brush causes the tendon to get more inflamed. Not only does the inflammation cause pain but it causes swelling that makes it even harder (and more painful) for the tendons to slide around. What the surgery involves is grinding off those bone spurs which I am told is not as painful as it sounds.

The recovery should be significantly faster than for a rotator cuff tear but will still keep me away from heavy weights at least for 3 months. I will be a good patient and follow my surgeons recommendations to the tee, and even more important, I will listen to my physical therapist!
