Description:
  • Feet shoulder width apart, core engaged, upright and neutral posture throughout movement.
  • Hands together gripping cable. Cable pull is perpendicular to your starting position.
  • Extend arms (holding cable) from torso straight out – watch that hips and torso do not rotate toward/away from anchor (i.e., maintain facing forward).
  • Complete sets on both sides

Technique points

Ensure client does not starting leaning away from the cable stack (thereby using their body weight to resist the load, as opposed to maintaining a neutral posture and forcing the core to remain engaged).

A wider base of support makes this exercise easier and vice versa.

Common Error(s): Not engaging core
