FitCi
Step-by-step
- Set the cable at chest height and stand sideways to the machine
- Hold the handle with both hands in front of your chest
- Press your arms fully forward; the cable will try to pull you toward it
- With arms extended, rotate your torso away from the machine under control
- Return to center and pull the handle back to your chest; finish the reps, then switch sides
Coaching tip
The cable tries to rotate you and you resist; adding rotation takes anti-rotation training to the next level.
Caution
Skip this move or ask a professional first if you have pain or an injury in: lower back. FitCi filters it out of your program automatically based on the injuries in your profile.
