Targets the obliques.
The handle is attached to the highest level of the cable machine. Your left side faces the machine. Hold the handle with your left hand. Stand at an arm's distance from the machine, your feet at a shoulder width distance from each other. Bend your legs. Your left foot is straight. Your right foot is turned out, facing the right. Your face is turned toward the right. Your back isn't tilted. Your body is slightly behind the cable. Don't twist your hips. Hold the handle with your left hand and right hand, your arms straight. Contract your abs. Pull the handle diagonally downwards up to the point when your arms are straight, your hands are to the right of your body, and your body is twisted. Pause. Return to the starting position.
