About

How to Cable External Lotation

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
