Upper Pull-Up Twists

Kneel at the cable through the upper pulley. Grasp the rope and lower it down until your hands are in front of your face. Lean forward slightly. This will be your starting position. As you exhale, tensing your abdominal muscles, begin to twist, bringing your elbows closer to the middle of your thighs. Stay in this position. On an inhale, slowly return to the starting position. Tip: during the exercise, keep the abdominal muscles in constant tension. Also, do not set the weight too heavy, as in this case, the main work will be on the lower back. Complete the required number of repetitions. Variations: Use a handle instead of a rope to do side twists to work your obliques.
