Cable Standing Lift
The lift of the chop-and-lift pair: from a low pulley beside the near hip, the handle is pulled up to the chest and pressed high over the far shoulder.
How to do it
Setup
Standing side-on to a low pulley, feet wide, both hands on the handle beside the near hip.
Steps
- Pull the handle up across the body to the chest.
- Press it up and away above the far shoulder, the trunk turning.
- Return the same way to the near hip.
Common mistakes
Standing square to the stack: start side-on and finish turned. Leaning back to press: keep the ribs down. Letting the cable drag the arms down: lower with control.
Breathing
Exhale on the upward sweep, inhale returning.
