Internal Rotation Chest Press
Exercise Overview
The internal rotation chest press exercise is used to engage the internal rotators of the shoulder to stabilize the glenohumeral joint dynamically. Start by anchoring a band at bench height to a stable object overhead (a squat rack or band anchor works great). Lie your back down onto a bench and hold the free end of the band with your target arm. Pull the band so that you are setting up for a CHEST PRESS making sure that there is light-to-medium tension in the band. Complete a chest press while making sure your elbow is aligned directly below your wrist during the movement.
