Don't do flyes or heavy shrugs? BLASPHEMY!!!
I didn't understand half of the exersizes he talked about. Like the "W" and "Y" things...is he just standing there, or going from one to the other, or doing a lateral reverse raise on them, or...
I prefer articles that don't assume we are all sports physiologists or rehabilitation coaches.

I have always found http://stronglifts.com/shoulders-dislocations/ to be helpful. They get my shoulders warmed up very good and help increase the flexibility of the joint to help with bar placement on other lifts.
I've had serious shoulder problems since the end of January. I stopped all pressing AND pulling exercises and started doing a lot of direct rotator cuff movements. My shoulder didn't seem to get any better. As a matter of fact, I'm now convinced that I was further irritating it and making it worse. 5 or 6 weeks ago I stopped all the direct rotator cuff exercises and took Rippetoe's advice. I started doing light weight high rep OH presses WITH PROPER FORM (elbows in front of the bar in the starting position and a shrug at full extension). I used an empty bar (45lbs) and 2-3 sets of 20-25 reps. Today my shoulders feel better than they have in months.
