5 Best Exercises to Strengthen Your Rotator Cuff

#5 Inverted Row

Ideally, the inverted row is used to build the back strength, but this exercise also improves the overall conditioning of the rotator cuff in the shoulder. The inverted row is a simple exercise and could be performed by both beginners and experienced trainers.

Instructions

Step 1: Position a bar such that it offers enough separation for you to stretch and extend the body.

Step 2: Hold the bar while hanging underneath it and ensure that the palms are positioned away from the body. The width of the grip should be approximately equal to the width of the shoulder.

Step 3: Flex the arms and move the body towards the bar until the chest almost touches the bar.

Step 4: Pause for a moment and return to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: You could also use a smith machine to position the bar.
