How to perform

§ 02 · Steps
  1. 01

    Sit in the lever trunk rotation machine and adjust the seat and chest pad so your back stays neutral and your hips remain firmly supported.

  2. 02

    Grip the handles and brace your core, keep your shoulders down, and avoid bending at the hips.

  3. 03

    Rotate your torso to the side in a slow, controlled motion as far as you can without letting your hips lift off the support, and briefly squeeze your abs at the end of the movement.

  4. 04

    Slowly return to the center position and repeat on the other side using the same range of motion.

Tips

§ 04 · Tips

Keep the movement slow and controlled, and avoid jerking the weight stack. Keep your hips stationary and allow your thoracic spine to rotate so the load stays on your abdominal muscles.
