How to do Band Wood Chopper
- Anchor a band at shoulder height or slightly above on your left side and stand perpendicular to the anchor.
- Grip the handle with both hands and step away until the band has tension across your body.
- Pull the handle down and across your body toward your right hip, rotating through the torso.
- Pivot your left foot as you rotate, fully turning the trunk to load the obliques explosively.
- Slowly return to the starting position over 2 to 3 seconds, fighting the band's pull the whole way.
- Complete 8 to 12 reps per side, then switch the anchor and work the opposite direction.
