Also called: kneeling woodchop, half-kneeling cable chop
Coaching cues

- Pull the band down and across to your outside hip
- Arms stay long — let the trunk do the turning
- Stay tall through the finish, don't slump
Common mistakes
- Slumping sideways instead of rotating
- Bending the arms and letting them do all the work
- Hips sliding sideways during the chop
