Brown's Training Tip of the Month: The Cable Oblique Rotation



Raleigh Durham, NC

Thursday, November 12, 2009

The cable rotation is a great way to improve rotational strength and power for sports like golf, tennis, baseball, martial arts and lacrosse. Your flexibility will determine your efficiency throughout the range of motion.

1. Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Holding the cable handle out in front of your body at shoulder level, your head should follow your hands as you move.
2.Keep knees bent and rotate from the torso as far as possible to your left until you feel the muscles on your back right side begin to stretch. Drive back in the other direction, keeping your arms extended. Keep rotating until you feel the cable wrap around the back of your shoulder.
3.Try to keep your feet stationary and drive the weight through the concentric phase (moving the load away from the weight stack) while returning the weight (eccentric) in a controlled manner.
