Connect a rope attachment to a tower, and move the cable to the lowest pulley position. Stand with your side to the cable with a wide stance, and grab the rope with both hands.
Twist your body away from the pulley as you bring the rope over your shoulder like you're performing a judo flip.
Shift your weight between your feet as you twist and crunch forward, pulling the cable downward.
Return to the starting position and repeat until failure.
