    How to: PVC External Rotation

    1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hold a PVC pipe at arm's length in front of you.
    2. Bend your elbows to 90 degrees, keeping them fixed in position.
    3. Rotate your arms outward, keeping the elbows close to your body.
    4. Hold the position briefly before returning to the start.

    Common Mistakes

    • Letting the elbows drift away from the body.
    • Using too much weight and compromising form.

    Modifications

    • Perform the exercise seated for added stability.
    • Use lighter resistance if you're new to the movement.

    Tips

    • Keep your elbows close to your body to ensure proper form.
    • Engage your core to maintain stability during the rotation.
