How to do Cable Wood Chopper
- Anchor the cable at the highest pulley setting and grip the handle with both hands above one shoulder.
- Step out into a wide, athletic stance with feet planted and your knees softly bent.
- Brace your core, then pull the handle down and across your body toward the opposite hip.
- Drive the rotation with your trunk, letting your back foot pivot naturally as your hips turn.
- Pause for a beat at the bottom with arms straight and core locked, feeling the obliques under load.
- Return the handle slowly back to the start position above your shoulder, then repeat for reps.
