Cable Single-Arm High-Low Woodchopper

Cable Single Arm High to Low Woodchopper

1. Setup:

   • Adjust the cable pulley to the highest position.

   • Attach a single handle to the cable.

2. Positioning:

   • Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.

   • Grab the handle with your right hand, using a neutral grip (your palm facing inward).

   • Step away from the machine so there’s tension in the cable.

   • Slightly bend your knees and engage your core for stability.

3. Starting Position:

   • Pull the handle down near your right shoulder.

   • Keep your left hand on your hip or extended out for balance.

4. Movement:

   • Initiate the movement by pivoting your hips and turning your torso to the left while pulling the handle diagonally across your body.

   • As you pull, extend your right arm fully, keeping a slight bend in your elbow at the end.

   • Ensure that the movement is controlled and fluid, engaging your core and obliques.

5. Ending Position:

   • Finish with the handle near your left hip, maintaining a strong core and straight posture.

   • Hold for a brief moment at the bottom to engage your muscles.

6. Return:

   • Slowly reverse the movement, bringing the handle back to the starting position near your right shoulder.

   • Ensure that you maintain control of the movement without letting the weight snap back.

7. Repetitions:

   • Perform 10-15 repetitions on one side, then switch to the left side and repeat the steps.

Tips:

• Maintain a slow and controlled motion throughout the exercise.

• Focus on using your core and not just your arms to perform the movement.

• Adjust the weight on the cable machine according to your fitness level.
