I'm going to cut my computer usage to the bare minimum, because every time I start surfing my right shoulder bothers me.
I do internal and external rotations about once a week, on shoulder day, and stretches just about every other day. But I'm convinced now that mouse usage is bad for you.
I'll probably incorporate this program (http://www.dolfzine.com/page391.htm) when I'm done with my current cycle. Ironfist or anyone else - any comments, additions, or testimonials for this kind of program?
I've been mulling over some changes that I will probably make - first, I dislike flyes, and will probably try a machine press or decline bench for chest, which don't seem to bother my shoulder as much.
Second, six days a week is a lot. I doubt it will be practical to do more than four, since I'll be using my gym membership and not home equipment. Thirdly, deadlifts and shrugs never cause any shoulder discomfort, yet the program warns against them. Lastly, I'm going to try this (http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Supraspinatus/CBFrontLateralRaise.html) exercise.
My only problem has been with dumbell flat bench press, incline bench, shoulder press / arnolds, and lateral raises. Dive bombers aren't too friendly either. They all make my shoulder click and cause slight pain, even when I warm up the rotator cuff and stretch.
Outside the gym, throwing makes it pretty sore.
I took two weeks off a while ago, and it helped, until I started using the computer again.
Anyway, I'm sure that rotator cuff emphasis is long overdue. Any other suggestions on how to make my shoulder feel as fresh as a daisy?
