Technique

How to perform Internal Rotation with Band

  1. Secure either listed band to a stable anchor at elbow height.
  2. Stand with the working side nearer the anchor and hold the band or its handle.
  3. Keep your upper arm beside your torso and your elbow bent about 90 degrees, starting with your forearm pointing away from your body.
  4. Rotate your upper arm inward to bring your hand across the front of your torso without moving your elbow or turning your trunk.
  5. Control the band's pull as you return to the start, then switch sides after the set.
  6. A small pad between the elbow and torso is optional and is not required equipment.
