One arm high pulley cable side bends

Proper Position

• Stand next to a high pulley equipped with a handle or cable.
• Grip the handle with the hand closest to the pulley, keeping your arm extended or slightly bent.
• Position your feet shoulder-width apart for stability.
• Engage your core and keep your back straight, with your other hand resting on your hip or free.

Movement

• Slowly bend your torso to the opposite side of the pulley, pulling on the cable to stretch the obliques on the side of the handle.
• Focus on contracting your obliques and the lateral muscles of your torso.
• Return your torso to the starting position, controlling the movement to avoid jerks.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.

Breathing

• Inhale as you bend to the side.
• Exhale as you return to the starting position.

Tips

• Avoid bending too far to prevent straining your spine.
• Maintain a straight and stable posture throughout the exercise.
• Use an appropriate weight to keep the movement smooth and controlled.
• Focus on engaging your obliques rather than pulling with your arm to perform the movement.
