Cable Twisting Overhead Press
The twisting press on a low cable: the stack keeps the pull even along the whole line, where a band pulls hardest at the finish.
How to do it
Setup
Side-on to the low pulley, feet wide in a shallow squat, the handle at the shoulder farther from the stack.
Steps
- Stand up out of the squat as the hips turn away from the stack.
- Punch the handle up and away until the arm is straight.
- Let it return to the shoulder as you sink back; switch sides after the set.
Common mistakes
Arm doing all the work: the legs and hips start it, the arm ends it. Knees caving as you turn: keep them over the toes. Stack slamming between reps: control the return.
Breathing
Exhale on the drive, inhale returning.
