The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that help to keep the shoulder in its socket and improve its stability and overall function. If you want to be stronger overhead and more resistant to injuries, it's important to find time to work on your rotator cuff.

Jordan Shallow, aka The Muscle Doc, runs through his favorite movements for a stable rotator cuff and he does so by working through the functional subcomponents of the shoulder:
* The thoracic spine
* The scapula
* The lat
* The rotator cuff

Perform these 4 movements as a circuit; run through them three or four times each, one after the other, before a shoulder workout or on a mobility day.

1. Thoracic Spine Extension
Body part: Thoracic spine
