Description

Get down on all fours next to a bench or a box. Bring the arm closest to the support out to the side (90° abduction) and place your elbow on the bench, with the elbow bent at 90°. Rest your fist on a small towel for extra comfort. Keeping the elbow firmly on the support, externally rotate the shoulder by lifting your fist off the towel, then slowly return to the starting position. Perform the movement slowly and in a controlled manner, then relax before repeating.
