Set the cable pulley to a high position (above shoulder height). Select an appropriate weight for controlled movement. Stand with your side toward the machine, feet shoulder-width apart. Position yourself far enough away to maintain tension throughout the exercise. Grasp the handle with both hands, arms extended toward the pulley. Rotate your torso slightly toward the machine in the starting position. Brace your core and maintain a slight bend in your knees. Initiate the movement by rotating your torso away from the machine. Pull the handle diagonally across your body in a chopping motion from high to low. Finish with the handle near your opposite hip, arms extended. Control the return to the starting position, resisting the pull of the cable. Complete all repetitions on one side before switching to the other.
