Cable Shoulder Internal Rotation

BeginnerCable

This cable move isolates the rotator cuff, one of the small groups that keeps your shoulder joint healthy and stable. The constant pull of the cable lets you dial in exactly where the resistance comes from while staying on your feet. Go light here, since the goal is control and joint health rather than heavy loading.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the pulley to about elbow height and stand side-on to the machine with feet shoulder-width apart.

  2. 2

    Take the handle in your near hand and tuck that elbow tight against your ribs.

  3. 3

    Draw the handle in toward your stomach, keeping your forearm level with the floor and your wrist locked straight.

  4. 4

    Bring it back out to the start with control.

  5. 5

    Use a light weight and slow the reps down if you want more challenge, rather than adding load.
