General and Specifics
- this exercise strengthens your Rotator cuff (i.a. teres minor and infraspinatus) and is especially appropriate for tennis players
Starting Position
- tie a resistance band around a door handle or another stable tool and stand right next to it, put some tension on the band
- hold the band in the hand, which is farer away from the tool
- ankle the arm to 90 degrees and keep the upper arm fixated to the thorax
- remain upright
Correct Execution
- now rotate the shoulder and pull the band outwards against the resistance
- only the forearm and hand mare moving
- hold the hand in extension to the forearm
- come back to the starting position and do several reps
- afterwards, switch sides
tips for the workout
- if you cannot hold the upper arm close to the thorax, you can clamp a folded towel in between
