Cable External Rotations

Step 1

Add the handle attachment and set the cable pulley at elbow-height. Standing a step away, plant both feet on the floor slightly further than shoulder-width apart ensuring that the cable machine is on your right-hand side. Place your left hand on the handle in a neutral grip (palm facing inward). Keeping your left elbow tucked into your left hip, bend your elbow to a 90-degree angle and slightly rotate your shoulder inward. This is your starting position.

Step 2

Inhale. Exhale. While keeping your elbow tucked into your hip, pull the cable away from the pulley by rotating your shoulder outward, pulling your hand away from your body.

Step 3

Exhale. While keeping your elbow tucked, slowly rotate your shoulder inward and pull your hand towards your body to return to the starting position. Complete half of the specified repetitions on the same side before completing the remaining repetitions on the other side.
