How to: Cable Twisting Pull
- Set the cable pulley to a low position and attach the handle.
- Stand facing the pulley with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Grab the handle with both hands and step back until there is tension on the cable.
- Pull the handle towards your body while twisting your torso to engage your back muscles.
- Hold for a moment, then return to the starting position with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum rather than muscle strength to pull.
- Neglecting to engage core muscles.
- Pulling with arms instead of engaging the back.
Modifications
- Use lighter weights to ensure form is maintained.
- Perform the exercise seated to reduce strain on the back.
Tips
- Maintain a straight posture throughout the movement.
- Focus on engaging your core for stability.
- Control the weight both during the pull and the return to avoid injury.
