This is the empty can exercise.

It is like a shoulder flexion exercise but your thumb is pointing towards the ground (like emptying a can) during the entire movement. Now imagine splitting your body in half from front to back. This imaginary line would be 0 degrees. Place your arms about 30 degrees in front of you.
Now the scaption exercise is the same exact placement as the empty can exercise except now your thumb is pointing towards the ceiling.
