Shoulder External Rotation–TGR’s MTB Training Camp

Hey mountain bikers! Crystal Wright here from Wright Training here in Jackson Hole. This is the seventh part of our nine-part workout series for TGR's Mountain Bike Training Camp, and today we'll be focusing on Shoulder External Rotation, a great exercise for preventing the shoulder injuries so common in mountain biking and for building durability into the upper body.

Lay on your side with your arm bent at the elbow at 90 degrees.

Start either with no weight, or absolutely less than five pounds.

Rotate your arm externally until you can't go any higher. Don't open your shoulder to get a bigger range of motion.

Do as many as 30 reps before switching sides.
