Machine Torso Rotation

Isolation · Weight × reps

MUSCLES WORKED

  • PRIMARY
  • SECONDARY

Depending on the machine’s design, the upper or lower body may be the moving section. Rotate only through a range that feels comfortable, without using momentum or pressing forcefully into the supports to move farther. The exercise primarily trains the obliques and other core muscles. Use the same range and planned volume in both directions.

HOW TO DO MACHINE TORSO ROTATION

  1. Adjust the starting position and available supports so you can maintain a comfortable and stable position.
  2. Brace your core and rotate against the resistance in a smooth, controlled motion.
  3. Pause briefly at the end of the rotation, then return slowly without allowing the resistance to pull you back.
