Powell raises are one of those great exercises for the mid back, external rotators and rear delts that hardly anyone does.

When performing external rotation exercises for the shoulder I often see it performed incorrectly. There are a couple mistakes I tend to see

This is a combo movement I came up with about 15 years ago that combines a side lateral raise with shoulder external rotation

Maintaining a 5 point body contact in pressing movements helps ensure proper form and maximal strength by increasing neural drive.

When you are doing any barbell pressing movements you want to have someone help you with the lift off for proper shoulder health.

One of the biggest areas neglected in people's workouts is the rotator cuff. Neglecting training these muscles can create a muscle imbalance

Face pulls are one of the most underrated exercises. It's a great exercise for proper muscular balance in your shoulder area and upper back

One of the most common areas that a lot of people have muscle imbalances is with their shoulders and external rotoator cuff muscles.

Try adding this combo deltoid/rotator cuff exercise into your workout. It's a great way to work an often neglected area (rotator cuff).

Training the shoulders involves working all 3 heads of the deltoids (anterior, medial and posterior) as well as working the rotoator cuff
