Cable Shoulder Internal Rotation
The standing cable internal rotation: side-on to a pulley set at elbow height, the hand travels in to the belly as the upper arm rotates.
How to do it
Setup
Standing side-on to a cable at elbow height, the handle in the near hand, elbow bent 90° at the side, forearm pointing out.
Steps
- Rotate the forearm in until the handle touches the belly.
- Keep the elbow at the ribs and the wrist straight.
- Return the handle out slowly against the cable.
Common mistakes
Swinging the torso to move the handle: stand square; only the arm rotates. Elbow leaving the side: tuck it and keep it there. Too heavy a stack: the cuff works best with a light, smooth load.
Breathing
Exhale turning in, inhale returning.
