Sword Draw

Exercise Overview

The sword draw is a rotator cuff strengthening exercise that uses an exercise band to provide multidirectional resistance. Anchor one end of the band down to a stable object at hip height. Start with the target shoulder’s hand at the opposite hip with the thumb pointed backwards while gripping the band. Simultaneously rotate the hand into a thumbs up position as your pull the band across the body and overhead. This motion should resemble drawing a sword and saluting it overhead.
