Cable Twisting Standing High Row
One handle pulled down and back from a high pulley in a split stance, the torso turning with the elbow.
How to do it
Setup
Split stance facing the high pulley, one handle up and forward on a long arm.
Steps
- Pull the handle down to the ribs, turning the chest to that side.
- Stop when the elbow is past the hip line.
- Unwind as the arm rises back to the pulley.
Common mistakes
Spinning the hips with the torso: the feet and hips stay put; the ribcage turns. Pulling straight down: the high row travels back as well. Rushing the unwind: the return is half the rep.
Breathing
Exhale on the row and turn, inhale returning.
