Cable Standing Torso Twist
The standing twist with a long bar held across the hips, one end clipped to a waist-height cable; the trunk turns the bar away from the stack.
How to do it
Setup
Standing facing forward beside a waist-height pulley, a long bar held at the hips overhand, its end clipped to the cable.
Steps
- Turn the trunk and the bar away from the stack.
- Keep the bar at hip height and the arms slightly bent.
- Rotate back under control.
Common mistakes
Swinging the bar with the arms: the trunk turns it. Bar tilting up or down: keep it level. Knees locked: soften them so the hips can follow.
Breathing
Exhale rotating, inhale returning.
