This lesson video covers Shoulder Capsule CARs (IR/ER) - a targeted drill to prime the glenohumeral (GH) joint through internal and external rotation. The goal is to explore your maximum available IR and ER with slow, controlled movement while limiting compensations from the spine and ribcage. You can apply more or less tension depending on what your shoulder needs that day, but the priority stays the same: clean rotation, honest range, and better control of the shoulder capsule before deeper rotation work.
