Lesson 37:
Rotator Cuff - Band Resisted Rotator Series
A very important muscle group in regards to throwing success is the Rotator Cuff. Those muscles include the Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor and Subscapularis (AKA - the "S.I.T.S. muscles). These are just a bunch of fancy words that name the small, intrinsic muscles deep down in the shoulder joint.
These muscles need to stay strong and healthy and if they don't, injuries often times occur and you can't help the team from the bench and training room.
A great set of exercises that help strengthen the Rotator Cuff muscles and keep them healthy is the Band Resisted Rotator Series.
I recommend you place something (a rag, a towel, a shirt or a glove) under the elbow when performing the internal & external rotation with the arm at the side. If the elbow drifts away from the body, the incorrect muscles will be utilized defeating the purpose of the exercises.
