Hello i want to ask what is better doing rotator cuff workout is it better on the cables machine or dumbbells.
Iv heard if u do it with dumbbells its not good because theres no resistance because the machine acts as a resistance or some sort

    I'm assuming you mean internal/external rotation exercises. If this is the case, you need to lie down on your side in order to perform the exercise with dumbbells.

    Internal & external rotation with dumbbells (not sure about the pillow):

    External rotation performed with bands or cable:
