Instructions
Stand side on to a cable machine, feet shoulder-width apart, and knees slightly bent.
Grasp the cable handle with both hands at the lowest pulley setting. Your arms should be fully extended and your hands should be near your opposite thigh to start the movement.
In a smooth, controlled motion, twist your torso away from the machine and simultaneously lift the cable handle diagonally across your body until your arms are fully extended above your shoulder on the opposite side.
Pause briefly at the top of the motion, squeezing your obliques and shoulders.
Slowly reverse the movement back to the starting position.
Complete all reps on one side before switching your stance to work the opposite side.
Maintain a braced core and proper alignment throughout the movement to protect your spine and maximise muscle engagement.
Be sure to adjust the weight on the cable machine to suit your strength level and focus on form before adding more weight. Perform this exercise for the desired number of reps and sets, ensuring you work both sides of your body equally.
