Starting our shoulder strengthening series with rotator cuff isometrics!
The Setup:
Anchor your band to a sturdy point at elbow height. Bend your arm at 90 degrees and step out to create tension in the band while keeping that rigid 90-degree angle.
The Progression:
1️⃣ Hold the isometric position (build foundational strength)
2️⃣ Progress to shoulder rotation movements (external/internal rotation)
3️⃣ Advance to horizontal abduction (pulling across your body)
This progression builds rotator cuff strength from the ground up - starting with stability, then adding controlled movement, and finally working through full range of motion.
The best part? You can do this anywhere with just a resistance band and something to anchor it to!
Stay tuned for the next part!
