Exercise Description

The tall kneeling cable chop builds explosive rotational power and strengthens your core. It targets your obliques while teaching your body to transfer force through your midsection.

How To

1. Set the cable at high position and kneel tall on both knees beside the machine, grab handle with both hands 2. Position yourself so the cable creates tension when arms are extended toward the high anchor point 3. Keep your core tight and pull the cable down and across your body in a chopping motion toward your opposite hip 4. Control the movement back to starting position, fighting the cable's pull during the tall kneeling cable chop 5. Complete all reps on one side before switching to work the opposite oblique with the tall kneeling cable chop

Form Tips

• Keep your hips square and avoid rotating your lower body during the tall kneeling cable chop movement • Pull with your core, not just your arms - your obliques should drive the motion • Maintain a tall kneeling position throughout - don't rock back on your heels • Control both the pulling and returning phases of each tall kneeling cable chop rep

Common Mistakes

• Rotating the hips instead of keeping them stable - this reduces the effectiveness of the tall kneeling cable chop • Using too much arm strength instead of engaging the core muscles to power the movement • Moving too fast and losing control - the tall kneeling cable chop needs steady, controlled movement
