How to do it
- Set a pulley high, stand side-on to it with your feet wider than your hips, and hold the handle with both hands.
- Brace your abs and keep your arms almost straight.
- Rotate your torso and pull the handle diagonally down across your body to the opposite hip.
- Return slowly to the start without letting the cable pull you around.
Watch out: Using only your arms instead of turning through your torso and hips.
