<< PREV     NEXT >>

• Attach handle to cable machine at shoulder level and hold handle with thumbs pointing up
• Assume athletic stance perpendicular to machine with right shoulder closer to it
• Keeping core tight, explode off right leg and drive cable across body and down to opposite foot
• Return cable to start position with control; repeat for specified reps
• Perform on left side

Sets/Reps/Frequency: 3x6-8 each side; 2x per week

Variations:
1. Attach band to high position on stable object and perform against band resistance
2. Bigs can add drop step

Rogowski: This has the same benefits as the Reverse Chops, but you work your explosion in an opposite pattern.
