Position a bench or sit on the floor beside a cable machine with the pulley at low height and a single-handle attachment. Sit sideways to the machine, grasp the handle with both hands extended, and engage your core with feet flat.

1. Twist your torso away from the machine, pulling the handle across your body.
2. Keep arms straight and initiate movement from your core.
3. Pause briefly at the end range to feel the oblique contraction.
4. Slowly rotate back to the starting position under control.
5. Maintain a neutral spine and stable hips throughout.
6. Switch sides after completing reps on one side.
