The alternating lying row is a good alternative to the bent-over row because it places very little stress on the low back. While you will not be able to use as much weight you will be able to effectively target the shoulders and upper back. This exercise required dumbbells and a bench making it a good exercise for anyone with limited access to equipment. The alternating lying row can also be performed on a swiss ball to engage the core muscles.
Great video. Can you have the figure externally rotate his arm and supinate the fore arm? For people doing rehab, this will move the geater tuberosity to a position where it is less likely to impinge on the accromion.
This will adduct the arm a little also which is also protective for the joint.
