Joe DeFranco Shoulder Warm-Up

August 23, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Joe DeFranco has some shoulder warm-up movements he wants you to know about.

Three super simple exercises that virtually saved my shoulders. All 3 exercises ACTIVATE/STRENGTHEN the musculature of the upper back, external rotators, while lengthening the internal rotators. #WINNING. 

#1) Lying “Y-Handcuffs”

#2) Mini Band Face Pull + External Rotation

#3) Mini Band Pull-aparts (externally rotated)
