45-Degree Cable External Rotation
45-Degree Cable External Rotation targets the infraspinatus muscle, which is a very important muscle of the rotator cuff, which helps to provide some stability for the shoulder joint. This exercise targets your abs and also works for obliques.
Instructions
- Stand in front of the cable machine and grab the handle with one hand. Pull the cable by bending your arm until your elbow comes close to your body.
- Rotate your arm to make a 45-degree angle with your elbow away from the body.
- Now rotate the shoulder and drag the handle upwards, but your elbow should be stable. Pause for a few seconds and rotate your upper arm back to its initial position. Now repeat this movement to achieve your target.
Tips
- Do this exercise at a controlled pace.
- Do not allow your momentum to break.
- Do not do partial repetition.
