DB Alphabets

NP

DB Alphabets can be done either standing or lying on a bench and is done with a light weight

the DB is held in one hand at arms length directly in front of the body (or straight up when lying on a bench on your back) then you draw each letter of the alphabet in the air with the DB.

this exercise works the the muscles of the rotator cuff

the muscles of the rotator cuff include the

Infraspinatus
Teres Minor
Subscapularis
Supraspinatus

the rotator cuff is important for shoulder stability. A torn rotator cuff is a common injury in weight lifters/powerlifters if the muscles are not strengthened.
