Coaching-Hinweise
Technik-Tipps
When rotating your shoulder medially, ensure the movement is slow and controlled. Avoid quick, jerky movements which can lead to injury.
Don't force your shoulder to rotate beyond its natural range of motion. Overextending can result in injury. Instead, aim for a comfortable stretch.
If you are using weights or resistance bands, start with a light weight or low resistance and gradually increase as your strength improves. Using too heavy weights from the start can lead to poor form or injury.
A common mistake is to let the arm drift away from the body during the rotation. This can put unnecessary strain on the shoulder joint. Instead, keep your elbow close to your side
