My vote is split between the teres major and infraspinatus even though the supraspinatus is the one that usually gets beaten up. The muscles for external rotation are always weaker than the ones for internal rotation but all of them together cooperate in keeping the head of the humerus in the glenoid fossa.

I am curious about your answer.

I think the answer to your question is the Subscapularis! Yes, I know it is the largest of the SITS muscles, however, its location makes it hard to train. As Karen Said, I can’t wait to hear your answer!.
