Coaching notes

Sit on a bench with one foot elevated so the knee is roughly level with the shoulder. Rest the elbow on the knee maintaining a rigid 90-degree arm angle, lower the dumbbell under control into internal rotation, and rotate back up.

Key points

  • Elevate foot high enough so the supporting knee aligns the elbow near shoulder height
  • Maintain a strict 90-degree angle at the elbow and neutral wrist without flicking
  • Lower under control through full range of motion before rotating externally

Common mistakes

Dropping the elbow below shoulder line or excessively flexing the wrist to cheat range.
