rotator cuff questions!

[The-Missing-Link]

hi guys please answer my questions
1. Should i train my rotator cuffs before training my shoulder or before training chest (I'm doing shoulders on monday and chest on tuesday)?
2.How many exercizes and sets should i do to train my cuffs properly? Right now i'm doing 1 exercize with 3 sets once a week.

Thanks

Upps mistake im doing chest on thursday. Another thing: is it better to do chest/shoulders or back/shoulder?

Yeah i know all 3 i'm not stupid. I'm using a split program.I just wanted to know if it is better to train chest and shoulders on one day or back and shoulders

Missing link, what exercises do you do to strengthen your rotator cuff? i have seen a few big guys tear their rotator cuff, and I'm getting a little paraniod that might happen to me.

Hey KingDoughnut!
Yeah its a good idea to train your rotator cuffs to prevent injury. I had pain in my right shoulder too. Prevention is better than not be able to work out for a long time. Right now i'm doing only one exercize. I don't know the english term, maybe something like greet with both hands?
Anyhow it would be better to ask a trainer to show them to you, because it's hard to describe.
Bye

There was a post on this earlier on this board. Look that up and also look up info on a google search. There is plenty of good info on strenghtening your rotator cuff.

Then try this split. All complementary muscles:

Chest-Delts-Tris
Cuff-Bis-Lats
Hams-Quads-Lower Back
Abs-Calves-Forearm

Or something to that effect.
