Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Band Wood Chop.
The band diagonal twist is a rotational core exercise performed with a resistance band, moving the arms in a diagonal chopping pattern from high to low (or low to high). It trains the obliques and rotational power through a full range of motion.
The Band Wood Chop is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
