Proper Exercise Technique
Tie a band to a head level rack or machine and grab the other end with your hand. Stand sideways so you are not facing the machine. Grab the band with the hand farthest from the machine. Keep your elbow close to your side and bend your arm at a 90-degree angle. Now pull and rotate back on the band and squeeze the muscles in your shoulder.
This builds up the muscles in the rotator cuff and is a good way to warm up and prevent injury.
