INSTRUCTIONS

Attach the lighter band so it is fixed medially to the position of your arm (so you will promote resisted external rotation). Attach a heavier band to your foot, and have both bands in one hand. Set shoulder blade into neutral and maintain elbow position at a 90 degree bend. Raise elbow and hand in front of body so you are pivoting at the shoulder and elbow joint into a forward press above head movement. As you go up - resist the band tension and don't let the band pull your hand inwards - keep a vertical line with the forearm so you are staying in 0 degrees external rotation and only go as high as you can maintaining the external shoulder position.

SPECIAL NOTES


You can advance this by increasing the weight in the vertical position by adding a DB or KB or just replacing the band with a KB or DB
