Instructions

1. Setup:

  • Adjust the cable machine so that the pulley is set at a height approximately in line with your shoulder.

  • Attach the handle to the pulley.

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand facing away from the cable machine, feet shoulder-width apart.

    • Hold the handle with your right hand, keeping your elbow bent and your hand near your chest.

  2. Stance:

    • Position your feet in a slight stagger, with your left foot forward and right foot back for balance.

    • Engage your core to maintain stability throughout the movement.

  3. Execution:

    • Inhale, and as you exhale, extend your right arm forward in a punching motion, aiming to fully extend your arm without locking the elbow.

    • Twist your torso slightly to the right as you jab, engaging your core and allowing your hips to rotate along with your movement.

    • Hold for a moment at the end of the movement to feel the contraction in your shoulder and chest muscles.

  4. Return:

    • Slowly return to the starting position by bringing your hand back to your chest while maintaining control of the cable.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Perform 10-15 repetitions on the right side.

    • Switch to the left side and repeat the same number of repetitions.

  6. Cool Down:

    • Finish with some light stretching of the shoulders and chest to help with recovery.

Tips:

  • Keep your movements controlled to avoid injury.

  • Focus on your form, ensuring your back remains straight and core engaged.

  • Adjust the weight on the cable machine to match your fitness level, starting with a lighter weight if you're a beginner.
