Exercise Steps
Attach a stirrup handle to a high cable pulley, grab it with both hands, and stand with your right side toward the cable station and your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the rope over your right shoulder, as if it were an ax you were about to swing. Pull the rope down and across your torso by bending and twisting at your waist so that the handle ends up on the far side of your left calf. Pause at the bottom, then slowly straighten to return to the starting position. Finish the repetitions on that side, then repeat with your left side toward the weight stack. |
