Rotator Cuff Strength for Throwers
Rotator cuff strength for throwers uses light, high-rep external rotation work to balance violent internal rotation from pitching—control and frequency beat heavy ego loading.
Rotator cuff strength for throwers targets supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor with light resistance and high control—side-lying external rotation, cable external rotation at neutral and ninety degrees, and band walks. Heavy bench pressing without matching external rotation invites impingement-style irritation during velocity phases.
Two to three sets of twelve to twenty reps several days weekly beats occasional max-effort upright rows.
Common questions
-
How heavy should rotator cuff exercises be?
Stay light enough to move slowly through full range without hiking the shoulder—often two to five kilogram dumbbells or light bands. If form breaks, load is too high for cuff goals.
