The external rotators are the muscles that allow you to rotate your arm at the shoulder, moving away from your body. Imbalances in the strength of your external rotators in relation to your internal rotators is often a cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. Because your internal rotators receive lots of work e.g. in the bench press, try doing some direct external rotator work like one arm external rotations with a dumbell.

One of the most useful (and cheapest) training tools you can purchase is a training diary. You can keep a variety of details about your training, nutrition and lifestyle. It allows you to keep details of each individual workout and helps you track your progress over time. Your training diary will over time become a valuable guide to the training variables that give you the best results.

Can you hold the plank position or a prone hyper-extension for 2 minutes? How about the side bridge for 90 seconds? According to Bill Hartman, if you can’t meet all of these basic tests, you are not strong enough to handle an external load (weights) of more than 20% of your bodyweight.
Test yourself and see how good your “core” strength is.
