Resistance Band Kneeling Woodchop
Kneeling side-on to a high band anchor, pull the band diagonally down across the body to the far hip with straight arms, turning the chest with it.
How to do it
Setup
Tall kneeling side-on to a band anchored high, both hands on the band above the near shoulder, arms straight.
Steps
- Chop the band down and across to the far hip, turning the chest.
- Keep the hips square and the knees planted.
- Let the band draw the arms back up slowly; switch sides after the set.
Common mistakes
Pulling with bent arms: keep them long; the trunk turns the band. Hips rotating with the chest: the turn happens above the waist. Band snapping the arms back up: return slower than you chop.
Breathing
Exhale on the chop, inhale returning.
