How to do it

Diagonal cable pattern that coordinates hips, trunk and shoulder without losing posture.

Form. Start close to the low cable, guide the cable diagonally and let the trunk rotate only as much as needed.

Common mistake. Pulling only with the arms, locking the knees, or arching the lower back.
