Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries are certainly the most common injuries within any gym environment.
Most people seem to be conditioned to jump straight into a heavy set of
a bench press with little to no warm up prior to doing so.
I would recommend performing 2-3 rotator cuff movements with very light weights, cables or bands prior to any push workouts in particular (any chest or shoulder workouts) or any upper body workout in general.
It’s certainly an excellent practice to condition yourself with. Since doing so myself, I have limited myself to almost zero shoulder injuries for several years now, obviously correct form helps, but taking a few extra minutes to warm up sufficiently has helped me tremendously.
See the image above for a few movements you can add to your warm up routine. If you don’t have bands, you can use a cable pulley machine or very light dumbells. The writing is very small in the image, therefore I would recommend printing this out or just using the images as a guide.
