Exercise Description

The banded internal rotation exercise strengthens your rotator cuff muscles and improves shoulder stability. It helps prevent shoulder injuries and fixes muscle imbalances.

How To

1. Attach a resistance band to a fixed point at elbow height and stand perpendicular to it 2. Keep your elbow tucked against your side and grab the band with your far hand 3. Start with your forearm pointing away from your body in the banded internal rotation setup 4. Pull the band across your body by rotating your forearm inward while keeping your elbow still 5. Slowly return to start position and repeat the banded internal rotation movement

Form Tips

• Keep your elbow glued to your side throughout the entire banded internal rotation movement • Move slowly and controlled - don't rush the rotation • Keep your wrist straight and aligned with your forearm during banded internal rotation • Only rotate at the shoulder joint, not your entire arm

Common Mistakes

• Moving your elbow away from your body during the banded internal rotation exercise • Using too much resistance and losing control of the movement • Rotating too fast or using momentum instead of muscle control in banded internal rotation
