Instructions
1. Attach the suspension trainer or cable machine handle to a high anchor point.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grab the handle with both hands. Your side should be facing the anchor point; the starting position should have your arms fully extended and the cable or strap taut.
3. Keeping your arms straight, rotate your torso forcefully, pulling the handle diagonally down across your body to your opposite hip. Pivot on your back foot and engage your core throughout the movement for stability.
4. Control the handle back to the starting position, resisting the tendency for the cable or strap to quickly recoil.
5. Focus on the rotation coming from your torso rather than just moving your arms.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps, maintaining a strong and stable posture throughout. Ensure to complete the exercise on both sides to maintain balance in your muscle strength and development.
