Supported partial-range rotation

Regression of External Shoulder Rotation

REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Supported partial-range rotation

These steps are written specifically for the Supported partial-range rotation. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Supported partial-range rotation. Use a stable support for balance or assistance, but keep the working muscles responsible for the rep.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Keeping the elbow planted, rotate the forearm upward by turning only at the shoulder.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Use the smaller named range and reverse before position or control changes.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Stop where you could hold the dumbbell still, then lower through the same path slowly. Use a load you can stop anywhere.

Supported partial-range rotation

Sets: 3 · Reps: 8–15 per side

Supported partial-range rotation is a regression of External Shoulder Rotation. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Control range: Control work builds strength through rotation, balance, or a position you hold steady.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

Support fixes the humerus and lets the rotator cuff control rotation through a precise range without compensating through the torso.
