Isometric External Rotation
Written By David Song
ISOMETRIC EXTERNAL ROTATION
This is an effort based isometric contraction exercise that uses a wall. Stand beside a wall with your elbow bent to 90 degrees. Keep the elbow aligned directly below your shoulder. With your hand in a thumb up position, press outward into the wall by slowly ramping up your strength over the course of 3 seconds. Hold your maximal tolerable contraction for 5-7 seconds before ramping your strength back down to a rest (again over a 3 second count).
