Muscles Used

Instructions

  • Hold the cable with both hands
  • Draw the cable down across your body while twisting at the trunk
  • (Like swinging an axe)
  • Lower the cable back to the start position
  • All movement should be generated by your obliques, try to minimize the use of the arms
  • Note - Keep your legs bent so you do not twist at the knee

Muscles involved

  • Rectus Abdominis
  • Obliques

  1. Isnt it spelled “Like swinging an Axe”, not “Like swinging and Axe”?

    Just a little typo that annoyed me!

    Nice job on this encyclopedia by the way, it has given me endless amounts of help when i’m looking for new exercises :)

  2. I just went to fix it and realised it’s already “an axe”

    A mystery!
