oblique builder rotating against a machine with your hips pinned
the pads hold your pelvis, so the rotation happens at your spine alone and
nothing below the waist can contribute
a stack to set and a fixed path, which makes it the rotation you can load in
small steps
Execution
Sit in the rotation machine with your hips against the pads and your torso
against the chest pad. Set the starting angle so you feel a stretch before the
first rep.
rotate your torso against the pad, driving from your trunk
keep your hips pinned against the pads throughout
let the machine take you back under control
pause briefly in the stretched position before the next rep
work both directions across the set
Set the starting angle once and keep it, adding an exercise note when you change
it so the jump reads as a setup change.
