This exercise is a great one for people to add to their routine. If you work at a desk or sit at your computer a lot, you may end up with your shoulders rounded forward and your arm rotating inwardly. Doing this will help to strengthen the external rotator cuff muscles (infraspinatus and teres minor). Pressing the armpit forward will help to activate (and strengthen, depending on your current strength) a muscle called the Serratus Anterior.
To intensify this, lower and bend the elbow a little bit. You could also attach a band to something in front of you and hold the band for added resistance.
If something hurts you, reduce the range of motion, speed, number of repetitions, or the amount of resistance. If those modifications don’t work, then those exercises should be avoided for now (not forever!).
This exercise works several muscles that were not painted in this particular art piece.
