External Rotation with Cable

Strengthen your rotator cuff with this cable-based rotation drill.

Cable-based external rotation allows for consistent resistance and smooth motion. It's a valuable exercise for shoulder durability and functional control in pressing or overhead sports.

Instructions

  1. Set a cable pulley to elbow height and stand sideways with the working arm away from the machine.
  2. Hold the handle with your elbow bent 90 degrees and tucked into your side.
  3. Rotate your forearm outward, keeping your upper arm fixed.
  4. Pause at end range, then return slowly to the start.
