Internal Rotation with Band

What it is

This exercise targets the muscles responsible for internally rotating your shoulder. It specifically strengthens the rotator cuff, which is crucial for overall shoulder health, stability, and injury prevention. You perform this movement using a resistance band to provide controlled resistance throughout the range of motion.

Technique tips

• Anchor the resistance band securely at your elbow's height.
• Keep your working elbow pressed firmly against your side.
• Maintain a 90-degree bend in your elbow throughout the exercise.
• Control the rotation inward and outward with your shoulder muscles.
• Avoid shrugging your shoulder or moving your torso to assist.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
