Banded Shoulder Internal Rotation
Exercise Overview
This is a shoulder strengthening exercise that targets the internal rotators in a concentric and eccentric contraction. Anchor a band beside the target arm at roughly elbow height. Keep the elbow flexed to 90 degrees and aligned directly below the shoulder. Grip onto the free end of the band and take a step to the side to add tension to the band. Pull the band inwards until your fist is in front of your belly and then allow the band to pull your shoulder to end range external rotation.
