Lying Internal Shoulder Rotation – Dumbbell
- Lie on your side on a flat bench with your legs stacked, and your body straight as possible from head to toes.
- Bend your lower arm (the one closest to the bench) at a 90-degree angle at your elbow, and grasp a dumbbell with a your palm facing the ceiling.
- Rotate your shoulder while keeping your elbow at a 90-degree angle, moving your forearm towards the ceiling and inwards towards your body.
- Rotate your arm upward as far as comfortably possible without lifting your elbow off the bench or your body moving off its position.
- Pause at the top of the movement for a brief moment.
- Slowly return the dumbbell to the starting position by rotating the forearm back to the bench while keeping the elbow angle constant.
- Complete all the desired repetitions on one arm before switching to the other arm and repeating the steps.
