Shoulder
Written By David Song

EXTERNAL ROTATION FRONT PRESS

This is a rotator cuff strengthening exercise that works on dynamic stabilization of the glenohumeral joint. Anchor a band down next to you and grab it with the arm furthest from it. Complete a front press motion while keeping the wrist in line with the elbow. The forearm should be as close to completely vertical as possible during this movement.

Muscles Involved:

  • Rotator Cuff (Infraspinatus, Teres Minor)

  • Posterior Deltoids

  • Trapezius

Related Conditions:

  • Shoulder Impingement

  • Dynamic Shoulder Instability

  • Labral Tear

  • Rotator Cuff Tear / Tendinopathy / Tendinitis

  • SLAP Lesion

  • Posterior Capsule Impingement
