This movement is a staple for shoulder health, commonly used by athletes and lifters to warm up or recover from injury. It builds control in external rotation and reinforces proper alignment.
Instructions
- Anchor a resistance band at elbow height and stand sideways to it.
- Hold the band in your outer hand with your elbow bent 90 degrees and pressed to your side.
- Rotate your arm outward while keeping your elbow in place.
- Pause briefly at the end of your range, then return slowly.
