Standing Cable Wood Chop

A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.

Instructions

• Attach a handle to a high pulley and stand sideways to the machine.
• Grab the handle with both hands above one shoulder.
• In one motion, pull the handle down across your body to your opposite hip while twisting your torso.
• Let your feet pivot naturally as you twist to allow full range of motion.
• Control the weight back to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using too much weight leading to poor form.
• Not allowing feet to pivot, reducing the range of motion.
• Using arms instead of the core to drive the motion.
