Is this a good exercise for swimmers? I tried it recently and was surprised how weak I was on my non-dominant (right) side, which is also the side I've had some nagging shoulder soreness up until recently.
I have been ignoring my deltoids in my weight training routine up until about a month ago, to go easy on my shoulders. Recently I started doing some exercises that target the deltoids and my shoulder soreness has diminished a lot, so I plan to keep it up and maybe try more exercises.
Pinky is up so thumb is down. You are on a different plain but essentially you are raising your arm at some point with your thumb down.
Except that by the time impingement could occur in that motion, your torso should rotate to that side increasing the angle between the arm and the chest to more than 90 degrees, reducing the impingement.
