Loop Band Uppercut
Exercise Overview
This is a strengthening exercise for the shoulder flexors, shoulder cross extensors, and shoulder external rotators. Start by looping a band around both of your wrists. From here, place both elbows directly below your shoulders and keep a 90 degree bend in your elbows. Keep this 90 degree elbow bend fixed as you raise your shoulders in front of you. Raise your arms until your elbows reach shoulder height. Be sure to keep the wrists in line with your elbows and shoulders during this movement. Maintain this alignment as you lower your elbows back down until they are directly below your shoulders.
