How to handle weight
12–20 reps. If you cannot rotate at the end, the stack is too heavy. Band at home is fine.
Usual programming
3 × 12–20.
Caution
Light stack. Think ‘show the armpits’, not a row to the sternum. Neck long. This is shoulder health, not an ego lift.
Setup
Rope at face height, pull to the ears, externally rotate at the end.
Cues
- Think ‘show the armpits’
