Low-to-High Cable Twist
From the low pulley, sweep the handle diagonally up and across the body; the arms stay long and the trunk turns.
How to do it
Setup
Side-on to a low pulley, both hands on the handle at the near hip, staggered stance.
Steps
- Sweep the handle diagonally up and across to above the far shoulder.
- Arms long; the TORSO rotates.
- Return along the diagonal with tension.
Common mistakes
Arms lifting instead of the torso turning: lock them long; rotation is the engine. Hips frozen: the back foot pivots. Standing square: side-on start, full turn finish.
Breathing
Exhale on the upward sweep, inhale returning.
