    This is an excellent core anti-rotation exercise that really can make you work if you set up properly! It's not one that I've done a lot before, but when Tony Gentilcore puts it into his programming, you follow it! Tony's premium group has been great for me - check it out here: http://www.weighttraining.com/groups/tony-gentilcore

    I have only been using the resistance band, but it's still pretty simple to build a progression by stretching the band farther as needed. Remember, it's not about your arms / shoulders, but using your core to keep yourself straight.
