Cable Reverse Woodchop

Starting Position:

• Stand side-on to the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.

• Adjust the cable height to the lowest setting.

• Grasp the handle with both hands, arms extended in front of you at about waist height.

Body Positioning:

• Keep your knees slightly bent and engage your core.

• Stand with your left side facing the machine for the first set.

• Your arms should be straight, but not locked, and your shoulders relaxed.

Movement:

• Begin the movement by twisting your torso to pull the cable diagonally across your body.

• Rotate your hips and shoulders as you pull the handle up and across your body towards your right shoulder.

• Your arms should follow the movement but remain connected to your core to maintain control.

• Ensure that you face the machine again once you reach the top of the movement.

Return to Start:

• Slowly reverse the movement, allowing the cable to pull your arms back to the starting position.

• Maintain control throughout and keep your core engaged.

Repetitions:

• Perform 10-15 repetitions on one side, then switch to the other side to work the opposite direction.

Tips:

• Focus on using your core muscles to control the movement rather than pulling solely with your arms.

• Keep your posture upright and avoid leaning too far forward or backward.

• Start with a lighter weight to master the movement before increasing resistance.
