Step by step
- Set the pulley to the lowest position and attach a single handle, then stand sideways to the cable stack.
- Grip the handle with both hands and stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
- Brace your core and start with the handle near the hip closest to the stack, arms extended.
- Rotate your torso and pull the handle up and across your body to overhead on the opposite side.
- Pivot the back foot and let the hips follow the rotation, finishing with arms extended overhead.
- Reverse the path slowly back to the starting position over 2 to 3 seconds, then repeat for 10 reps per side.
