Band external rotation is a bilateral exercise that strengthens the rotator cuff muscles, particularly the infraspinatus and teres minor. By holding a resistance band in front of your body and rotating both arms outward at the same time, this movement improves strength and flexibility in the external rotators. It provides stability for the shoulder joints and helps prevent injury during activities involving overhead movements.
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts can significantly benefit from band external rotation, as it reinforces movement patterns crucial for sports like baseball, tennis, swimming, and weightlifting. It’s also useful for individuals recovering from shoulder injuries or those needing to correct muscle imbalances due to repetitive pushing motions.
Regularly practicing this exercise will strengthen the rotator cuff, improve shoulder stability, and enhance movement patterns for athletic performance and injury prevention.
Elbow position is very important. Many people flare their arms out as they pull the band apart. Others will press the elbow against the ribs to maintain the position. Neither is ideal. To fix this, place a rolled towel or small pad between your elbow and ribs, don’t let the towel fall during the exercise.
