Torso rotation diagonally upwards

A varied arm movement provides flexibility in torso rotation variations. For instance, on the cable machine, you can execute it at an angle upward. Here, you'll discover crucial details regarding the optimal body position and the correct execution of the movement.

Body position

In the torso rotation with an upward diagonal orientation, position yourself sideways to the cable machine. Your gaze is directed towards the cable machine, and you choose an appropriate distance, allowing your arms to extend diagonally downward, lengthening the cable machine rope. This is attached to the lower block. Maintain an approximately 45-degree angle between your arms and the floor. Take a lunge with slightly bent knees and lean your upper body slightly forward. Your gaze is also directed towards the cable.

Movement execution

Initiate the beginning of the upward diagonal torso rotation by pulling the rope over your shoulder. Keep your arms extended, forming a natural extension of the rope. Never release the weight to maintain tension. In the initial phase, focus on training one side of your body. During the pulling motion, rotate your upper body in that direction, which is subsequently oriented sideways. Extend your legs further to make full use of your body's length. Follow the movement of the rope with your gaze. Utilize the upward movement for exhaling. Subsequently, return the rope to the starting position, take a deep breath, and prepare for the next repetition.
