So I am 20 weigh 165 and am currently benching 300 even. As of late I have been having some shoulder issues and was wondering if anyone could give me some good rotator cuff workouts? Workout details plus set/rep count I should be achieving please.
If anyone cares would like a killer chest workout PM me and ill give you the workout the bumped my max bench from 185 to 245 in 3months.
I'm liking Scarecrows for just general shoulder health:
Just pick a very light weight and do plenty of reps

Nothing I can name really. I just pick up a pair of 2.5kg plates and wave my arms around before bench or shoulder press days.
I just imagined that and couldn't help but smile.
"what are you doing bro?" "ROTATOR CUFFS WRAAARRRGGHHHH" *flails wildly*

But then again, it also depends on what your goal is. Are you trying to gain some kind of functional strength, or are you trying to be a body builder and primarily going for looks?
going for building muscle, not really interested in gaining fast strength.
It should be a crime to have a gym with only 1 power rack. -.- Stupid 24hour fitness.
Bleh. Some other guy ended up using them for most of my alloted time with my bad luck. Fortunately, the guy was pretty beastly. Looked like he did something in the 270ies to 300s. Ended up just biking benching and doing some pullups.
In those videos you posted one of the lifters CJ 170kg at 56kg which would beat the current world record by 2kg...

Ahhh that sucks. Go find a real gym :D Also, use the bar from the bench to do some overhead squats or deadlifts or hack squats. Never need to skip a leg day Also, keep at it and you'll be in the "beast zone" of 270+ too easy. Hell funkie should be there any day now.

Yeah as long as he's not a beginner and wants to train for size that routine looks fine. If i started bodybuilding i'd probably just grab the latest split out of muscle and fitness lol.
On the quad/biceps day: maybe drop the db step ups and add leg press. I always love those for my quads. BB curls are imo the best biceps builder.
On the chest/calves day: I always like to do the BB BP before the incline db press. Just a personal preference.
Back/hams: Deads before leg curls. I doubt you have the need to pre-exhaust your hams before a set of heavy deads. Maybe add some good mornings or stiff leg deads since I feel your hams are getting the least of your love.
Delts/tris: maybe add a straight bar / v-grip pressdowns. I love those.

What aren't they good for? Seriously thy are hard as Fuck
I was hoping for some Overhead squat vs regular squat, some info for the overhead squat, if other lifts benefits from doing OHS etc etc I know they are hard, I tried them before. Dare I say this... but I'm getting pretty tired of doing squats 3 times/week for month.
Rape your core and stability. Not as much leg power but still awesome for your whole body. I would supplement your regular squats with them.
Sounds awesome, I like it when my core is getting raped (that sounded so wrong...).
So... ive decided to take the plunge and start ss for the new years :D
My issue is just that I'm used to going to the gym 4-5 days a week - usually doing cardio every day too - and rest on weekends, so really I was just hesitant because I *like* spending alot of time at the gym
Just for reference, where do people start looking after they've hit a wall with ss?

Good catch, definitely start with deadlifts, you don't want to be tired going into them. Also, a great hamstring builder is the glute-ham raise; barring that, weighted hyperextensions work too
Also, quick question. The olympic guy showed me an exercise where you hang from a bar, swing upside down so your knees are between the bar and your body, and then raise up and down using your core. What's this called? It rapes me
