How to Do the Cable standing twist row (v-bar)

Attach a v-bar attachment to a cable machine at chest height. Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart. Grasp the v-bar with an overhand grip, palms facing down. Take a step back to create tension in the cable. Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the exercise. Pull the v-bar towards your torso by retracting your shoulder blades and bending your elbows. As you pull, twist your torso to one side, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in your upper back. Slowly release the tension and return to the starting position, untwisting your torso. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, alternating the twisting direction with each rep.
