Are you making these two common mistakes exercising (or even ignoring) your subscapularis? You’ll learn those two major mistakes, plus five subscapularis exercises to reduce shoulder pain and improve your strength and range of motion.

The rotator cuff is more than just for rotating your arm. The major muscles also stabilize your shoulder and, when properly trained, prevent the wear and tear damage that leads to shoulder pain. Most exercises focus on internal rotation movements that mimic real-life activities, like sports. What these exercises will do is instead focus on strength and stability in the end range of motion, build stability, and create joint centration.

The only equipment you’ll need is a tennis ball or exercise ball. Remember the cue to focus on posterior scapular tilt (that means a cup of water on your shoulder will pour down your back.)
