Half-Kneeling Rotational Chop

  1. Attach a rope to the handle of the high pulley of a cable station. Kneel down so that your outside knee is on the floor but your inside knee is bent 90 degrees with your inside foot flat on the floor. Rotate your body to grip the rope with both hands. Your torso should be turned toward the calble machine.
  2. Keep your torso upright for the entire movement. In one movement, pull the rope past your outside hip. Reverse the movement to return to the starting position. Complete the prescribed number of repetitions to your right side, then do the same number with your right side facing the stack, pulling toward your left.
