I have rotator cuff tendonitis what weightlifting exercises can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: If you have active rotator cuff tendonitis, the best thing you could do for this is lay off the weight lifting for now (except for leg and trunk exercises) see a physical therapist who can help you get back pain free range of motion and then start a strengthening program for your rotator cuff. Continuing with weight lifting is likely to make it worse and risks further injury.
