Resistance Band Standing Shoulder Internal Rotation
A band looped round a rack post at waist height pulls the forearm out; the arm turns it back in across the belly, elbow pinned to the side.
How to do it
Setup
Side-on to the rack, the band round the near hand, elbow bent to 90° at the side, forearm pointing out toward the anchor.
Steps
- Turn the forearm in across the belly, the elbow staying against the ribs.
- Pause with the hand at the belly.
- Let the band draw the forearm back out slowly.
Common mistakes
Elbow drifting forward to help the turn: pin it to the ribs. Twisting the torso toward the belly hand: the chest faces forward. Letting the band snap the arm out: control the return.
Breathing
Exhale turning in, inhale returning.
