Exercise Description

The split stance cable lift builds rotational power and core stability. It targets your obliques while teaching your body to resist and create rotation.

How To

1. Set the cable at low position and grab the handle with both hands. 2. Step into a split stance with your outside foot forward, perpendicular to the cable. 3. Start with arms extended toward the cable machine at hip level. 4. Pull the cable across your body and up to shoulder height while rotating your torso during the split stance cable lift movement. 5. Control the weight back to start position and complete all reps before switching sides for the split stance cable lift.

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire split stance cable lift movement to protect your spine. • Don't let the weight pull you - control the return phase of each rep. • Rotate from your core, not just your arms during the split stance cable lift. • Keep your hips square and don't let them rotate with the movement.

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and losing control of the movement during the split stance cable lift. • Rotating the hips instead of keeping them stable while the torso moves. • Rushing through reps instead of controlling both the lifting and lowering phases of the split stance cable lift.
