Exercise Description

Half-Kneeling Stability Chop is a very effective position that helps to develop trunk and lower body stability and upper body strength.

Exercise Instructions

    Attach the rope attachment to the highest level of the adjustable cable machine. Kneel on the floor with the leg closest to the weight bent at a 90-degree angle, foot on the floor. Stretch your arms and grab the rope with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
  • Step 2

    Prepare your core, tighten your buttocks, and use your torso to pull the rope down and across your body past your opposite thigh. Return back to starting position and repeat before switching to the other side.
