Exercise Profile

Pulley Chopper Low-high Kneeling Overview

The pulley chopper low-high kneeling workout is a dynamic exercise that primarily targets the obliques.

Using a pulley system, this workout involves a kneeling position and a chopping motion to engage the core muscles.

The pulley provides resistance throughout the movement, intensifying the challenge for the obliques.

While other muscles, such as the shoulders and arms, may be activated, the focus remains on the obliques.

Pulley Chopper Low-high Kneeling Tips

  1. Position yourself in a low-high kneeling stance, with one knee on the ground and the other foot forward, firmly planted on the floor.
  2. Ensure that your hips are aligned and facing forward, engaging your core muscles to maintain stability throughout the exercise.
  3. Grab the pulley handle with both hands, keeping your arms extended in front of you, and maintain a slight bend in your elbows to avoid strain.
  4. As you pull the pulley towards your side, focus on engaging your oblique muscles by initiating the movement from your waist, rather than relying solely on your arms.
  5. Exhale as you perform the pulling motion, visualizing your obliques contracting and working hard to bring the pulley closer to your side.
