This exercise is typically utilised during shoulder rehabilitation whereby full extension of the shoulder on a bench may not be appropriate. The use of a ball or end of a dumbbell enhances the recruitment of the rotator cuff.

  • Move the arm away from the body between 45-90 degrees
  • Press the weight overhead and slowly return to the start position
