I don't know if I titled it right, but what I basically meant is I will be training my external rotators with external rotation movements such as low cable pulley external rotation and l-lateral raises, all designed to strengthen my external rotator cuff. You have a mechanism known as a rotator cuff in your shoulder which aids in rotating your arm internally or externally and adducting or abducting your arms. This muscle can become out of balance pretty easily if you starting pressing heavier and heavier weight pretty quickly which is what I did and not emphasize pulling as much as pressing. So it's just a good idea to keep these strong. By the way, my rotator cuffs are now completely rehabilitated, absolutely no soreness after the last ME bench day!
