Exercise of the Week: Half Kneeling Single Arm Cable Press w/Lockout

Another longwinded name for an exercise but that is the best I can come up since that's what the exercise is....a half kneeling single arm cable chest press with a lockout.  It's an exercise that will challenge hip stability, core stability and shoulder stability.  A lot of stabilizing going on in addition to getting in your horizontal pressing.

A couple things:
  1. The pressing arm is going to be on the side of the down knee and the locked out arm is going to be on the side of the up knee.
  2. Really tighten up the glute on the side of the down knee in order to stabilize the hips.
  3. Do not forget to switch up the downside knees when you switch up the pressing and locked out arms.
  4. Do not get all macho and try to load this up just because it's a pressing exercise.  Control the weight and maintain your position throughout the set.
