Shoulder External Rotation (With Cable)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2024
- Strengthening the muscles that support your shoulder will help keep your shoulder joint stable.
Stand, hold the cable (or resistance band), bend the elbow upward to 90 degrees, and hold your upper arm at the side of the body.
Place the body such that the cable pulls sideways toward the inactive arm.
The target muscles are the shoulder external rotators.
What muscles does external rotation work?
In red we can see how the infraspinatus muscle externally rotates the humerus. In pink we see the posterior deltoid and teres minor that assist in shoulder external rotation.
The load on the shoulder rotators varies throughout the movement. When the cable is 90 degrees to the forearm (and the forearm is vertical to the body), the load on the muscles is maximal. In other positions, the load is lower.
One of the common mistakes is scapular protraction and retraction at the expense of full shoulder rotation. The cause of this mistake is usually compensation for excessive weights or lack of awareness.
Be sure to stabilize the scapula and to move only the arm!

This is the visual I always wanted to see and know what actually happens inside. I m extremely grateful for your videos.
Same! 😄
Thank you for the video, it clarified my doubt, I was doing incorrectly standing with a band and when I did the exercize lying down with a 1kg dumbbell it targeted the correct muscles.
This is why we are here for:)

These are some really good videos for visual learners
During weight training the weight coach was having us do this but wanted me to rotate farther out to work on mobility but I don’t think that is the what the movement is actually intended for. He wasn’t correcting people when they were moving their whole shoulders and when they were lifting their elbows far from their side. I’m not sure he knows what he is doing.
Best video ever about this exercise! Thank you a lot!
I’ve been trash form on this forever 🤦🏾♂️ thank you for the vid
Thank you SIR 🙏❤️🙏
Brillient clip.
Thank you for this explantion, but, raising my arm also causes tension in my back shoulders and this video diagram doesn't help me figure out why, even thought this was good for other movements of the arm shoulder .
Great video! I am just wondering. My range of motion is awful. I do have forward rounded shoulders, but even when focussing on squeezing my shoulder blades together and keeping my shoulders back and down, it’s still bad. What could this most likely be? (Even without using weights)
Great !
I think I did too high a weight with my nondominant shoulder and have injured it. It hurts very bad and can't seem to keep proper positioning. Thinking of lowering weight but I'm already only at 20. Any suggestions for strength targeting the injured area? Or is lowering weight the best option?

I have badly torn my right infraspinatus muscle for years, it's further confirmed when i do outward rotational pulls theres no bulging or contracting of the infraspinatus muscle both visually and sensationally. Then how do i achieve this movement? Is it the rear delts and lats working together to rotate my shoulder outwards?
Thanks for this
Thank you, keep going
Great video!
Merci !
wow.. this is awesome..
I recently broke my scapula and got surgery which involved plates and screws. I’ve been in pt for probably over a month and everything is going pretty well, except external rotation. External rotation is taking much longer to loosen up and I feel like I’ve been stuck with little progress. Do you have any advice on how I could improve this?
Sir very nice video I like u
My arm will not do this, I have to use the other to push it. Is this a torn muscle?
Best
how does one force scapula to remain not moving?
You just move your arm, not your whole shoulder joint. Don't worry about your scapula.
this was the most useful video ive ever seen, thank you so much. no wonder when I used to do this exercise, I never "felt" the rotator cuffs do any work! One question though, when I try to only rotate the arm, I feel like I cannot get full range of motion and there is some restriction in the rotator cuff...any suggestions on how to fix this?
@@s2lai I didn't make the video and I am not your medical professional. Someone needs to look at your arm in motion.
How much sets and reps
16 reps. low weight 3 sets. for warm up
All of them..
3 sets of 10,12,15 reps both arms before doing any push moving
I have so much pain when doing this
Trapeezus and rumboids
Do internal rotation
to destroy my shoulders please!
ppl who do this with a dumbbell ahahahhah
Great !
