How to do it

  1. Stand side-on to a pulley at chest height and grip the handle with both hands.
  2. Step away to create tension and bring your hands to the center of your chest.
  3. Extend your arms forward, resisting the cable's rotation.
  4. Keep your torso firm and unrotated for a few seconds.
  5. Return your hands to your chest under control and complete reps before switching sides.

Common mistakes

  • Letting the torso rotate toward the pulley
  • Holding your breath instead of bracing the core
  • Using too much weight and losing position
