This rotation move strengthens your rotator cuff for better shoulder stability.

How to Cable External Rotation

Starting Position

1. Set the cable at elbow height and grab the handle with the hand closest to your body.

2. Stand with your elbow tucked into your side and bent at a 90-degree angle.

Proper Form

1. Keep your elbows fixed to your sides and slowly spread your arms outward from your body.

2. After feeling the contraction in the back of your shoulders, slowly return to the starting position.

3. Repeat the same process on the other side.

Breathing Technique

Exhale while turning outward, and inhale while coming back.

Precautions

1. Keep your elbow fixed so it doesn't move away from your side.

2. Set the weight lightly and only move within a pain-free range.
