How to perform External Rotation with Cable

1

Adjust the cable to the same height as your elbow. Stand with your left side to the band a couple of feet away.

2

Grasp the handle with your right hand, and keep your elbow pressed firmly to your side. We recommend you hold a pad or foam roll in place with your elbow to keep it firmly in position.

3

With your upper arm in position, your elbow should be flexed to 90 degrees with your hand reaching across the front of your torso. This will be your starting position.

4

Execute the movement by rotating your arm in a backhand motion, keeping your elbow in place.
