Much obliged,

Have you tried external rotation with therabands for the rounded shoulders? When you raise your arms do you get a feeling the humerus is popping out?
Typically those of us who spent far too much times on tables books computers etc developed rounded shoulders and we have strong internal rotators and poor external.
