Cable External Rotation

Starting position

• Stand side-on to the cable, handle at elbow height in the far hand.
• Elbow bent 90° and tight against the body, forearm in front of the belly.

Execution

• Rotate the forearm outward; the elbow stays at the body.
• Return slowly in front of the belly.
• Light weight, lots of clean reps.

Common mistakes

• Elbow leaving the body.
• Rotating the upper body along.
• Too much weight.
