Rotator Cuff Internal Rotation

How to do it

1. Anchor a resistance band at elbow height and stand sideways to it, holding the band in the hand closest to 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 inward across the body to work the rotator cuff.
4. Pause briefly once the forearm reaches your midline without the elbow swinging backward.
5. Exhale during the rotation in and inhale as you return the forearm slowly back out for each repetition.
6. Avoid rotating through the shoulder or torso to substitute for the forearm movement.
