It's been awhile since I've posted. I actually made a recent discovery. When I was younger I dislocated my shoulder and still need surgery or some sort of rehab. It's affected my weight training quite a bit in the case of military press and even just bench press sometimes. So lately I've been working my rotator cuff with a resistance band to build up the muscles around the tendons and ligaments that were injured. I've been doing this for almost a week now and noticed the vascularity in my shoulders has improved a lot! I looked in the mirror and saw veins popping out of my shoulders on both sides (I had veins on my right a little bit, but not the left). Now they visibly pop out on both shoulders.
The two cuff exercises I did were:
1) Hold up your arm at shoulder level, bend your elbow at a 90 degree angle, palm facing forward. Then pull the resistance band down so that your palm is level with your elbow.
2) Tuck your elbow into your ribs and have your arm at a 90 degree angle (parallel to the ground) and hold the resistance band. The motion is a pull. You pull the resistance band out so that your forearm rotates laterally so that it's inline with your body at the end of the movement.
Sorry I couldn't find a diagram for these 2 exercises, but these two are pretty simple and caused me to increase vascularity in my shoulders very quickly and easily. Just wanted to share this with you guys cause I was excited about how quick the results were and how it might be helpful is this is an area where you are lacking vascularity. Try it out, let me know if you get similar results. You can used cable too if you feel like resistance bands are for p.ussies.
