It\u2019s about promoting shoulder health by strengthening three of the four muscles of your rotator cuff (teres minor, infraspinatus, and supraspinatus; the remaining rotator cuff muscle is the subscapularis). The rotator cuff muscles and their tendons work to stabilize your shoulder, so strengthening them promotes a strong and stable shoulder joint.<\/li>\n<li>The target and synergistic muscles are not labeled in the illustration because they are out of view.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exercise details Target muscle:\u00a0Teres Minor Synergists:\u00a0Infraspinatus, Supraspinatus, Posterior Deltoid Mechanics:\u00a0Isolation Force:\u00a0Pull Starting position Stand holding a dumbbell in one hand.
