Cable Internal Rotation — shoulders isolation exercise in the LIFTAG library

Cable Internal Rotation

Isolation · Weight × reps

Return slowly without letting the elbow leave your side or the wrist bend. Use a light load and keep the torso still; turning your whole body hides the intended shoulder rotation. A small towel between elbow and ribs can help maintain position, but choose range and resistance for your shoulder and purpose rather than treating internal and external rotation loads as something that must be numerically balanced.
