Band Twist (Up-Down)
The band chop: from an anchor high on a rack, the arms bring the handle down across the body to the far hip as the trunk turns.
How to do it
Setup
Standing side-on to a band anchored high, feet wide, both hands on the handle above the near shoulder.
Steps
- Pull the handle down and across toward the far hip.
- Turn the chest and let the back foot pivot.
- Let the arms rise back to the anchor under control.
Common mistakes
Chopping with the arms alone: the trunk turn leads. Folding forward at the bottom: finish tall, turned, not bent. Letting the band yank the arms up: control the return.
Breathing
Exhale on the chop, inhale returning.
