For example, if I'm looking at someone from the back and they're running and I'm seeing that the hip is excessively tilting from side to side meaning at mid-stance your hip just kinda collapses and drops toward one side when you're running and that's accompanied by something like a heel whip, that's a pretty good sign that it's
an external rotator or that it's an abductor weakness issue vs. it being genetic because it actually shows that you have weak hips whereas if I see that foot kinda rotating out a little bit but the hips are staying relatively level while you're running, then usually it's just the case where you have that genetic kinda femoral anteversion and it's not really an issue.

the external rotator muscles (the ones that rotate the arm out) and the scapular stabilizers (muscles that support the shoulder blade).
It is usually
the external rotator cuff muscles or the muscles which rotate the shoulder joint outwards which are weak compared with the muscles which rotate the humerus inwards.
A change in scapula position or motion may cause an internal rotation of the humerus resulting in a shortened internal rotator muscle (subscapularis) and a stretched or weakened
external rotator muscle (teres minor).
Yes, it is
an external rotator and hip abductor... in the anatomic position of 0 ⁰ of hip extension; 0 ⁰ of hip flexion; 0 ⁰ of adduction; 0 ⁰ of abduction; 0 ⁰ of internal rotation and 0 ⁰ of external rotation (Reynolds & Schrattenholzer, 2007).
● The gluteus medius is the main abductor and
external rotator of the hip ● The gluteus maximus extends the hip and assists with abduction and external rotation ● The TFL is an abductor of the hip, but because of its positioning, it can also contribute to internal rotation

When you do the face pull you can offset many of issues caused by years of vertical and horizontal pressing and it can really improve your lifting, or at least your pressing while conditioning the rhomboids, rear deltoids, and
external rotators.
In addition, you can use the face pull to powerfully condition your rear delts, rhomboids and
external rotators, and improve your posture, all of which will breathe new life into your lifting sessions.
Training the muscles responsible for internal rotation will make these muscles bigger and stronger, but if you're not training
the external rotators to a similar extent, imbalances are guaranteed to happen and that's really bad news for your shoulders.
It can help crush lifting plateaus while powerfully conditioning the delts, rhombs and
external rotators, and best of all, it can help prevent internal rotation of the shoulder joint, which is a problem many dedicated lifters face.

external rotators.
In order to increase the range of motion at a joint, you need to focus on reducing muscle tension in the opposing muscle group — in this case
the external rotators, as well as strengthening the internal rotators themselves.
An increase in range on passive motion suggests weakness or inhibition in the internal rotators is more responsible than tight
external rotators, and vice versa.
Assessing in flexion also removes any additional restriction coming from
the external rotators that cross the hip joint at the front (e.g. iliopsoas, sartorius, pectineus and adductors brevis and magnus).
It is true that the action of the TA depends heavily on a co-contraction of our multifidi, pelvic floor, and many other accessory muscles (inner thighs and hip

external rotators).
The external rotators are very important, but remember that it is important to work the internal rotators as well.

external rotators) or Sartorius (a thigh muscle — best, if sung to the tune of «Notorious «-RRB-.
These individuals will have to spend additional time focusing on rear deltoids,
external rotators, and the scapular retractor muscles to compensate for the «lost» inherent stiffness.
First, let's talk about our shoulder
external rotators.
On the opposite side,
our external rotators are over-stretched making them ineffective in their role as stabilizers.
Our external rotators have a significant impact on the health of our shoulders and neck, just like our pelvic floor muscles have a significant impact on the health of our lower back, hips, and pelvis.
So kind of a more simplistic terms this would mean that you have a weak butt and you would want to actually strengthen your hip abductors like the gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus and you would actually also wan na strengthen your femurs»
external rotators.
