Does this look like you or someone you know in the gym who’s warming up their rotator cuff before doing any sort of pressing or pulling movements? Well, I want to talk about the importance of gravity. So yes, doing shoulder external rotation works your rotator cuff muscles, your infraspinatus, your teres minor. However, gravity goes down. So when I’m holding this dumbbell this way, the dumbbell and gravity is actually going to be pushing down, which is going to be causing the dumbbell to fall. I’m actually using my bicep to hold the muscle to hold the dumbbell up here. Yes. Moving across gravity. I’m using some of my rotator cuff, but you’re going to be a lot more effective in doing rotator cuff exercises. If you work against gravity. So what that means is now if I have right now I’m going to use a crossover symmetry band. This band, if I’m holding it at my side, is causing it to go this way. So now, although I’m working across gravity, my resistance is also across gravity. So this would be an effective way to work my rotator cuff and external rotation of my shoulder. If we are going to use a dumbbell and I’m going to do this, I have to move my body to work across gravity. So what that’s going to look like is basically lying on your side like this shoulder at the side. And now I’m doing my sideline, external rotation, because again, gravity works down. So it’s going to cause the dumbbell to fall. I’m going to be working against that resistance to do my sideline, external rotation. Now in this position, I’ve seen people, they lie completely on their side or they lie open like this. So I’m, my chest is actually kind of facing the wall. When they do this now, there’s going to become a certain point when gravity is just working straight down on them. And it’s actually not causing the dumbbell to rotate. So you need to be able to rotate completely over. If anything, I want my chest pointed towards the ground a little bit instead of just directly out by like where the camera is right now, where you guys are watching. And this is where you want to do your sideline ER. And now you’re going to have resistance throughout the entire range of motion. And this is a burner. I’m doing five pounds, which is a lot. This should probably be the max anyone’s going to do on this. Ideally, it’s literally one, two, three pounds. If you actually set it up right, sideline ER targeted in this position is extremely hard. And you only need a couple of pounds.
