Shoulder Internal Rotation (Cable)

How to do it

1. Set a cable pulley to about elbow height and attach a single handle, standing sideways to the machine with the working arm closest to it.
2. Grip the handle and tuck the working elbow against the side, bent to roughly 90 degrees, forearm across the body.
3. Brace the core to keep the torso still, then rotate the forearm across the body away from the cable stack.
4. Pause briefly once the forearm reaches the midline without the elbow drifting forward off the ribs.
5. Return the forearm slowly back out to the starting position under control for each repetition.
6. Exhale on the rotation in and avoid twisting the torso or hips to assist the movement.
