LEAN IN FULL CAN RAISE

The lean in full can raise is an exercise modification of the FULL CAN RAISE exercise that is used to increase supraspinatus engagement. Begin by placing on hand on a stable surface like a wall or squat rack and lean your body to the side at a 20-30 degree angle. Hold a dumbbell with your free hand in a thumbs up grip (underhand grip when the weight is rested at your side). Raise the weight to approximately shoulder height while remaining in the scapular plane (15-30 degrees horizontal adduction). Use as little momentum as possible while performing this exercise.
