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.  |
That's a fun and creative way to work the rotator cuff that I haven't heard of before. Thanks for sharing that!
