How to do Cable Side Bend
- Set the pulley to the lowest position and attach a single handle, then stand sideways to the cable stack.
- Grip the handle with the hand closest to the stack and stand tall with feet hip-width apart.
- Place your non-working hand on your hip and let the cable pull you slightly toward the stack at the start.
- Bend sideways away from the stack by contracting the obliques on the far side of your body.
- Pause at the end of the bend with a hard oblique squeeze, keeping the hips square and chest tall.
- Return slowly to the start over 2 seconds, then repeat for 12 to 15 reps before switching sides.
