Shoulder Impingement

For those of you out there that do train with weights.  Here is a tip that will minimize potential injury to your rotator cuff in your shoulder…

When doing forward dumbell raises: DON’T keep the palm facing downward, especially if your going higher than shoulder height. DO keep the palm facing the midline of your body.  This is biomechanically better for your shoulders.

Thanks
