How to run it

  1. 01

    Set the cable at chest height and press straight out without letting the body rotate.

  2. 02

    Keep the hips level through the chop; the arms guide, the trunk resists.

  3. 03

    Carry the weight on one side only and refuse to lean — that is the whole exercise.

  4. 04

    Reach under and through on the side plank to add rotation without losing the stack.

  5. 05

    Rest 60 seconds between sets; quality of tension matters more than load.
