Instructions

Attach the lighter band so it is fixed medially to the position of your arm (so you will promote resisted external rotation). Attach a heavier band to your foot, and have both bands in one hand. Set shoulder blade into neutral and maintain elbow position at a 90 degree bend. Raise elbow and hand in front of body so you are pivoting at the shoulder and elbow joint into a forward press above head movement. As you go up - resist the band tension and don't let the band pull your hand inwards - keep a vertical line with the forearm so you are staying in 0 degrees external rotation and only go as high as you can maintaining the external shoulder position.
