Description

Lie on your side with a weight in the top hand, arm, and elbow bent at 90 degrees in front of you. Use your other hand to support the upper arm. Initiate external rotation at the shoulder, lifting the weight until the forearm is parallel to the ground. Ensure the rest of the body remains still, avoiding any trunk rotation that could assist the shoulder movement.
