What am I ❓❓❓❓

This exercise targets the deep rotator cuff muscles that keep your shoulder centered and stable during movement. With your elbow tucked by your side, rotate your forearm outward against the band—slow and controlled. Fun facts + important info: 🧠 The rotator cuff’s main job is control, not power 🎯 Small muscles doing precise work = healthier shoulders ⚡ Training external rotation helps prevent impingement and shoulder “pinching” ⏱️ If you feel your neck or upper trap taking over, lighten the band Quiet strength, better mechanics, happier shoulders.

This exercise wakes up the serratus anterior, the muscle that keeps your shoulder blade snug and moving smoothly on your rib cage. You’ll slide your arms up the wall while gently pushing the wall away. Why it matters: ✔️ Improves shoulder blade control ✔️ Reduces neck and shoulder strain ✔️ Builds a stable base for pain-free arm movement Slow, controlled, and powerful—small work, big payoff.
