How to perform

Lie on an inclined bench with a dumbbell, gripping it overhand. Lower the weight by rotating your shoulder inward, keeping your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle. Press the weight back up by externally rotating your shoulder, returning to the initial position while maintaining the 90-degree bend.

Tips

Strengthens the rotator cuff and addresses muscular imbalances. Prioritize balanced development across all shoulder muscles. Keep your torso upright and shoulder blades engaged. Select a manageable weight to ensure controlled movement. This exercise promotes a healthy balance between internal and external shoulder rotation.
