Great tip, Eric! Love anything that gives guys an easy way to strengthen there cuff for throwing – don’t have bands/tubing handy? No excuses, get this done!

Very cool and easy to do and coach. Question, I have never seen you use the PNF subscap stretch for external rotation. It works great for me
Stand facing a corner with elbow next to side and forearm parallel to floor. Place hand on wall and do 5 second isometric hold. Release and rotate arm externally moving body until hand makes contact with wall again. Repeat a couple of times and then check external rotation again.

Hi Eric,
What is the difference between this variation and the external rotation to wall where the elbow is off the wall? Less ER?

Like it and very well explained. Could your superset this with the wall forearm slide? Just wondering

Alright! I’ll add this exercise before my shoulder workout, great tip Eric!

Yes, Shane, that would work fine.

Jake,
Correct. This is a better entry level version for those who don’t have as good a feel for the difference between active and passive ER and know how to prevent humeral anterior glide/anterior laxity during ER.
