Position

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the handle of a cable machine with both hands at shoulder height.

Movement

• Engage your core muscles and rotate your torso to pull the handle diagonally across your body in a chopping motion.
• Keep your arms straight and pivot on your back foot to generate power and engage the obliques.
• Return to the starting position in a controlled manner and repeat the movement on the other side.

Breathing

Exhale as you chop across your body and inhale as you return to the starting position.

Tips

• Focus on using your core muscles to rotate and stabilize your torso throughout the movement.
• Keep your arms straight and avoid bending at the elbows to maximize muscle engagement.
• Adjust the weight on the cable machine to match your strength and maintain proper form.
