How To

1. Set cable at elbow height and kneel on inside leg next to machine 2. Grab handle with outside arm, keep elbow at 90 degrees against your side 3. Start with arm across body, hand pointing toward machine 4. Rotate arm outward during half kneeling cable external rotation, keeping elbow locked at side 5. Slowly return to start position and repeat for desired reps

Form Tips

• Keep your elbow glued to your side throughout the entire half kneeling cable external rotation • Move only from your shoulder joint, not your wrist or elbow • Control the weight on the way back down • Keep your core tight and don't lean into the movement

Common Mistakes

• Moving the elbow away from your side during half kneeling cable external rotation ruins the movement • Using too much weight and losing control of the rotation • Rushing through reps instead of controlling the half kneeling cable external rotation slowly
