I seem to have hit a bit of a snag on the weight training front. Last Friday whilst I was doing my Routine 2 (see Split Weight Routine ) there was a bit of stiffness in my left shoulder as I attempted the Dumbell Flyes. Then the same shoulder was quite sore whilst doing Bench Presses.

Some research on the internet suggests it might be a Rotator Cuff injury. Normally I would be due to do Routine 2 again tomorrow, but I've got an appointment first thing, so I'll give the weight training a complete rest. The next time for Routine 2 will be next Monday and by then I will have changed the routine to try and address the problem.

I've found rotator cuff exercises on various sites, but some of the advice is a bit conflicting and some of the exercises look as though they might do more harm than good. Having had some good success with one ebook I might try Brian Schiff's The Ultimate Rotator Cuff Training Guide. It's a bit pricey, but if it does the trick then it will be worth it.
