A Better External Rotation Exercise
Strong shoulder external rotators are crucial to arm health, as they are responsible for stabilizing and rapidly decelerating the arm after a throw.
There are numerous ways to perform band external rotations, but the way shown above is excellent because it isolates the muscles well by preventing erroneous movement and keeping the shoulders and back in proper alignment.

September’s Training Tip
The best strength program is balanced, therefore when lifting weights, stretching is essential to prevent injury and help increase flexibility and range of motion of the athlete.
