How to: Cable Standing Lift
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grasp the cable handle with both hands.
- Rotate your torso to the side away from the cable machine, keeping your arms extended.
- Engage your obliques and lift the cable upward and across your body.
- Return to the starting position with control and repeat for the desired repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum rather than muscle strength.
- Rotating the torso too much, which can strain the back.
- Not engaging the core throughout the lift.
Modifications
- Perform with lighter weights.
- Use a resistance band instead of a cable for reduced resistance.
Tips
- Maintain a straight back to avoid injury.
- Control the movement to maximize engagement of the oblique muscles.
- Adjust the cable height for optimal resistance.
