Rotation
Superset x 2

For the Axial Rotations, focus on keeping everything else in place as the shoulder rotates. You can use the opposite hand to detect for any lifting from the shoulder blade.

During the Elbow Down Rotations, move your body as much as is needed to fully rotate the shoulder. The idea is to keep your elbow down for as long as possible,

Go in both directions
