Cable Seated Twist
Seated on a bench side-on to a shoulder-height pulley, the arms long; the trunk turns away and back while the seat pins the hips.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on a flat bench side-on to the pulley, feet wide, the handle held at arm's length toward it at shoulder height.
Steps
- Rotate the chest away until the hands point to the far side.
- Keep the hips square on the bench.
- Turn back toward the pulley under control.
Common mistakes
Rounding forward to pull: sit tall. Hands dropping below the shoulders: keep them level with the pulley. Racing through the turn: control both ways.
Breathing
Exhale rotating, inhale returning.
