Rotator Cuff External Rotation

How to do it

1. Anchor a resistance band at elbow height and stand sideways to it, holding the band in the hand furthest from the anchor.
2. Tuck the elbow of the working arm against your side and bend it to roughly 90 degrees.
3. Keeping the elbow pinned to your ribs, rotate the forearm outward against the band to work the rotator cuff.
4. Pause briefly once the forearm reaches a comfortable end range without the elbow drifting forward.
5. Exhale during the rotation out and inhale as you return the forearm slowly back to center for each repetition.
6. Avoid letting the elbow lift away from the torso or the shoulder shrug upward during the movement.
