I injured my shoulders for the 2nd time in 3 months.

I think my rotator cuff is too weak, the coach at the gym told me I should buy resistance bands to strentghten it.

What load should I choose ? (2-16kg/11-34kg/24-54kg/27-68kg).
My lifts : Ohp 40kg, BP 68kg, Pendlay Row: 60kg

I personally got the two weakest bands for my rotator cuff

How did you injure it? Not saying you shouldn't be looking into rehab, but fixing your form should be a priority or you'll just end up getting injured again.

Also if you're gonna do something like YTWL you should go for a lighter load

First time I was doing Bench Press.
Second time it came progressively, but I suspect barbell rows.

I corrected my form on BP, and I think I'll replace rows by something else (pull ups ?) because I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
For the moment I stopped training upper body.

Ok thank you

Never heard of a rotator cuff injury from doing rows. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's mechanically possible unless you were jerking the weight around(even then, you were doing Pendlays so the floor should absorb most of the impact). My shoulder will occasionally bug me during chin ups and barbell rows if I hurt it doing something else, but I'm pretty sure they weren't the cause of it.

Honestly I think the bench press is still the prime suspect, shoulder impingement isn't really possible during a traditional OHP

I know this feel.
Two lowest ones should do the job nicely.
My advice is give your shoulder a full week of rest followed by a couple days of mobility and stretching, then warm them up really good before lifting. Also pay attention to how you sleep, I realised I was putting alot of weight on my left shoulder which left it in an awkward position which caused me pain.

That's weird, because I can bench without any pain, but when I do pendlays my shoulders hurt, especially when the weights hit the ground.

Thanks for the advice, I think I also sleep in a stressful position for my shoulder sometimes.

I do shoulders twice a week, and at least one day a week I incorporate pic related.

I also do them the opposite way... if pic related had the cable in his left hand and rotated inwards

Warm up those cuffs before lifting

- arms circle (small) anterior and lateral. Pretend this shit is fucking heavy even though it's just your arms, no weight.
- push hands together like you're praying and move them in a diamond pattern across your chest, kind of like signing yourself after a prayer. Go clockwise and counter.
- make fists and put your palms together over your chest and make circles in the anterior-posterior direction and then reverse.

These will make sure your cuffs are warmed up and ready to fire correctly.

Look up baseball shoulder programs, they constantly have to take care of their cuffs so they tend to have decent programs to keep them healthy.
