Banded Lean In Full Can Raise

Exercise Overview

The banded lean in full can raise exercise is used to strengthen the muscles responsible for shoulder abduction. Start by leaning against a wall with your elbow, with the band anchored to the floor near the wall. Hold the free end of the band with an underhand grip and maintain this wrist orientation during the entire exercise. While keeping the spine in neutral alignment, abduct the shoulder to pull the band towards the ceiling. Raise the arm to roughly shoulder height and lower back down to starting position (hand starting near the front of your groin).
