Instructions
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.
