How to Do Cable Woodchop High to Low

Form Cues

1. 1

   Set cable high, rotate through the torso pulling the cable diagonally down and across the body

2. 2

   Generate power from the hips not the arms

3. 3

   Pivot your back foot as you rotate to allow the hips to fully turn through

4. 4

   Finish with the cable low near the opposite hip, following through with control

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Bending the arms too much — keep arms mostly straight and rotate from the core, not pulling with the arms

• ●

  Keeping the feet flat and only twisting the shoulders instead of letting the hips rotate too

• ●

  Using too much weight, forcing a slow, muscled pull instead of a fast, controlled rotation
