The Cable Around the World exercise targets the shoulders and core muscles, providing a functional movement pattern that mimics actions in sports and daily activities. It offers a comprehensive full upper-body workout. As with any exercise, ensure you perform the movement smoothly and avoid using excessive momentum to minimize the risk of injury
First, place the cable pulley at waist height, then grab the handle in one hand and straight in front of you.
This is the starting position.
Whilst keeping the arm straight, first, pull the handle down to your side. Next, Raise the arm up, out to the side and above your head. From here, lower it down back to the starting position. After this, do the same movement but in reverse. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount. Once you’ve done all the reps on one arm, if required in the program and you are able to do so, repeat the exercise and the repetitions with the other arm.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping aids or D-Ring Aids clipped straight into the carabiner to make this exercise as safe as possible.
