Rotator Cuff Band Training B4 or after WO - JP Fitness Forums

I was curious. On days that I do my shoulder workouts, should I do the rotator cuff band training before or after my workout? Or maybe even on a leg day. Thanks in advance.

IMO if you do rotator cuff work on your shoulder day, defintley do it after you are done training your shoulders because doing rotator cuff work might take away from the effort you can put into your shoulder work.

But shouldn't you focus on something as important like the rotator cuff when you are fresh? After proper warmup ofcourse.

Yesterday I did it before and it didn't seem to take away too much, but im not sure. Anyone else have a tie breaker for these two? Thanks for the posts guys.

After. Don't wear out your shoulder's stabilizers and small muscles before heading to the bench press.

You could do it on leg day, but depending on your weekly workout schedule, it may only give you one day of recovery before hitting upper body hard again.

Warm up well
Lift Hard
Then do your band work

Oh, and good luck.

If you have time you could fit it into your leg day. Then you will get the best of both worlds and won't have to worry about your upper body being worn out or fresh.
