High-to-Low Cable Twist
The same chop from the high pulley down to the opposite hip.
How to do it
Setup
Side-on to a HIGH pulley, hands on the handle above the near shoulder.
Steps
- Chop the handle diagonally down to the far hip.
- Arms long, torso and hips rotating.
- Return up the diagonal under control.
Common mistakes
Chopping with the arms: the trunk turns, arms connect. Bending forward at the finish: rotate, not fold. Racing the return: the cable loads it; resist.
Breathing
Exhale on the chop, inhale returning.
