People always wonder if there is one exercise that will train the obliques and abs at the same time. The idea is, if you could find just 1 exercise that can accomplish this, you could get double the results in half the time!
Enter the Double Edge Woodchopper Exercise!
This abs and obliques exercise is one of my favorites and one that I rely on all the time with my top professional athletes (particularly my baseball players) who need to depend on rotational core power to be able to hit the ball far!
Watch as I dissect the reasons why this exercise ranks up there with the best ab exercises you can do and then head over to athleanx.com to grab the workout system that combines exercises just like this one into a 90 day program for getting you the same ripped, lean and athletic muscle that todays top athletes are sporting.

10 years later 2021 and Jeff still looks awesome - that’s some dedication
2018 bro & you've come so far love your channel so much passion for fitness
Awh look how young Jeff looked from years ago,🤣
RIGHT! 🤣🤣
Man you've come so far 🎈 :)
05/01/2023 Man you're a beast.
jeff you inspired me, I sold my tv and put a cable machine in the corner of my livingroom. 2 hrs of bullshit tv or 2 hours of good workout that makes you feel great. you choose, couchies
You are the man Jeff... this is by far the most helpful exercise ive seen for abs. I have been lifting weights for a long time and never have i thought of exercises like the ones you come up with. Grate stuff Jeff.
@jboijseauneau Hey guys! Not a weight exercise because it changes the mechanics of the move. The cables provide the eccentric part of the exercise that the dumbbells would not. You CAN sub in tubing however if you can anchor it in a similar way as it is here. Stay strong TEAM ATHLEAN!
Jeff
I did this at the gym this morning & it worked great. Thanks again Jeff. You're da man!
Hello from the future earthlings:)
Everytime I think I know it all Jeff comes with something to break my confidence n I love it dat way 😆
Guys, Jeff's AthleanX program WORKS!!! I just finished week 5 and my results are great and I feel great and the meal plan is so good I never desire a cheat meal. I'm excited to finish up all 3 months. AthleanX is such a deal at the low cost he's asking for it. This is the best I've ever felt.
OMG! What an old video of Jeff, but still functional in 2020! You're just simply so awesome! Respect
Pretty sure this was the first Athleanx video I ever watched !
I never seen anything like that done before. I totally have to try this. Thanks Jeff!
I am watching it in dec..2021..
This guy is doing such a Hard work...!
Now he is getting his gains..?
Its 2023 end.... jeff looks the same and preaches the same. Consistency ❤
Man, do I ever love your biceps. How do you get such a great peak?
I'm loving this
I tried this two days ago an I love it
Wow, just watching this video made my obliques sore! I can tell just by watching that this one is a killer! Can't wait to give this a try tomorrow...Love your videos, Jeff, you provide some of the best information out there and I tell everyone at my gym to check them out!
@wasimsworld Yes you sure can at 40! I got 8 of 'em on me and I'm 62. Never saw any of them before now! Eating right is the key. Don't care what anybody says, do your sit-ups! and every other kind of abdominal exercise you can put in your arsenal and you'll be good to go. Jeff's system has plenty of variety and he also has a series of abs videos on youtube.
I can't wait to try this out. Thanks Jeff. GO RANGERS! WOOOO!!
Jeff, this is great. Keep doin' what cha doin' and considering that I use to weight 265lbs and I weigh 170lbs now. After looking and actually executing most of your exercises (complimenting your xclusive exercises with other isolation and compound exercise) I'm actually looking very close to how I've always wanted to look. So thank you very much! Kevin from Singapore
It's been 10 years!
you are the man.
Yrs. Ago...
What a levendi! 😍
Awesome Jeff, yet another one to add to my workouts! Love woking on core, my favorite body part.
No recent comments
i bet if you held a ball between your hands while doing that it would help. but that would be kinda difficult considering the shape of the handles
Another great work out! Thnx a lot Jeff!
he has a home workout section to athlean x which requires something to do pullup/chinups on, tubing and dumbells without things like a squat rack or barbell
wow i fucking LOVE that this guy is a big baseball fan
@RICHS128
what are u talking about? my gym isn't a big one but it has this machine.....
Gotta say the exercise looks great, and the gym I go to has a machine just like that! Thanks for the tip, I can't wait to try it out. :)
Starting these tomorrow!!!
wow.. it's amazing how your physique and videos have changed over time. so boss. keep up the good work!
Jeff, how is your footing in motion during this movement? I tried this last weekend and the cables kept touching over the side of my body and onto my arm causing some discomfort for every repetition. How do I position myself with the machine so that the cable doesn't touch me during the movement?
I suspect his left foot would be facing forward. The back foot would be perpendicular to the front foot
great channel the exercise are truly amazing, thanks a lot for sharing it with us!
Wicked Exercise, Cant Wait 2 Try It Tomorrow In The Gym :) Thumbs Up!!
11 years later... Is this exercise still legit?
Awesome move man, I can't wait to try this one in my routine today!
heck ya! a new ab video, thanks jeff!!!!!!
How do you set your feet and stance for this exercise
this is superb.
@Loyal2law Check the answer above !
Dang, Jeff, your biceps are bigger then ever! I need to start following the bicep black book a little more :P
-Matt
@youngdavito I personally have found that the tower 200 and the x factor door gym set ups allow you to perform alot if not all of Jeffs machine/resistance exercises..I use them with the videos from Jeff and they work great for me..
Damn i am jealous, i wish i had that machine cause i know when i used to do Woodchoppers alot i noticed a huge difference, and this would bring my obliques just to a whole new level of excellence.
Since i have a mini home gym, since traveling to a actual gym is too far away. How much would one expect to spend on such a machine
@wasimsworld At 40 myself & I can say definitely yes! Have completed week 7 of the Washboard Wednesday series & seeing some good definition. So important to watch your diet. Physically we're all different but keep up with the program (join up with AthleanX to go along with it if you haven't already) & you'll be rewarded with results.
You're 51 now.
This exercise seems illegal to do in my gym where people are constantly on a wait to do cable flys...😂😂😂
@Kainthemain Its not that i cant eat meat, i just don't choose too...im a mother natural lover :)
I'm gonna try this
Legit exercise. Thank you
@RICHS128 Geez Rich, someone put something in your cheerios this morning? The majority on here find this helpful and they surely can do it with bands as well. Not sure if membership at your gym is down or not and is causing you to have a bad day but if it is, you might want to assess how you're conducting yourself. You come like a bit of a....well, I'll leave it at that
@TheBajanMafia hey thanks mate! i have hope that i can be achieve by you're comment! thanks for the heads up! maybe you can suggest any diet that can do the trick? working hard is not a problem, as long as its can be achievable then im fine with that! cheers!
Jeff i see you've come up with a lot of very useful ab and core exercises. I was just wondering if could come up with a lower back workout to complement the ab. i am not sure whether or not these extension machines are good for the lower back or not.
Thx
Awesome
@RICHS128
u dont own a simple cable machine? (dont know the name of it) but at my gym that machine has always someone working on it, from my experience at gyms, thats easily one of the most used machines. So, maybe ur gym needs an upgrade?
Did he deadlift close to 500 lbs back then?
@RICHS128 My gym has that piece of equipment...
@baeronautics hehehe :) no worries my friend! no ones alone in this world! if someone has experienced something in life there will always be another person that experienced the same, maybe close to us, or maybe miles away in the world! but hey! being a vegetarian is not so bad, because u dont eat meat and somehow is can be along of the lines "i respect mother natural in a way" hence, you get to live longer and maybe rare illness will come your way or non at all!
hi5 to that!
I'd love to see the feet movement
@JDCav24 Why do you even bother responding to haters. People (like me) are learning alot and appreciate your advice. People will always have haters, ignore them. I learnt something watching your video so thanks!
How many reps o this is reasonable ?
graet workout but i dont have any access to the gym so can you do something similar to this that i can do at home please?
whats the difference in results between these and the straight side to side version?
Hi Jeff after looking at this video I was intrigued so I did it with my tower 200 and WOW!!! I'm morbidly obese and would love to see more!!! Help me out if you can! SIGNED ---Derreck
@RICHS128 settle down mate.... you can do this exercise with a cable machine. Almost EVERY gym has cables! put one side down to the bottom, and one side up the top...... It's not hard.
YEs master...
hey jeff thanx for this video i rele like all ur workouts on youtube and i recently bought athleanx and am loving the results quick question: could you please explain what eccentric and concentric contractions are?
I know this comment is 12 years old but for anybody coming to this video with the same question:
It's really just bend and extend. Easy to remember it by root words.
Centric = center.
Ex = out of or away from
Con = with or together
Essentially, for any exercise you'll do, there will be a concentric and an eccentric motion. Let's say bicep curls, when you curl the dumbbell or barbell, that is a concentric motion (pulling the muscle together) when you return to the starting point and your bicep stretches back out, that is eccentric.
For squats, it's the opposite. When you squat, your quads stretch out and that makes it an eccentric motion. When you stand back up, your quads relax and shorten again, making the motion concentric.
@RICHS128 Have you tried going to 24 Hours, LA Fitness, or Golds Gym, you know the REAL gyms to use the cable equipment?
can i do that with my bowflex?
@RICHS128 yeah i hate to pile on you but I've been a member of three gyms and been to many and seen this machine in all of them. Respect to you for owning a gym, but get this in your gym soon
I remember that 10-11 rangers line up they were stacked back.to back world series appearances and losts lol Hamilton young Guerrero Cruz Andrus Napoli kinsler Wilson Murphy borbon Holland O Day Moreland Lewis
When you can see Jeff in 360p
@JDCav24 Im a vegetarian...how can i build muscles? is it possible...? Im quiet new...
@JDCav24 Well handled Jeff, Don't listen to asses like that! You always have good workouts etc, thanks.
@JDCav24 How often should you work out your obliques? Even abs?
I'm sure i seen you on WWE raw last night, front row white top?
This is a great exercise, Jeff =D! W/ a lot of comments that you receive, hopefully you'll read mine XD. Can I do this workout using a pair of 10 lb. dumb bells/weighted broom stick ? Will it still give the same results, if not similar? I asked because, martial arts has a lot of rotations involved, & I want to take my rotations a step further, while hitting the abs & the obliques. Yes, like hitting 2\3 birds w/ 1 tranquilizer dart XD. Thanks in advance =3.
Hey jeff, thanks for all these videos i bought athlean x a couple of weeks ago and im loving it. Please could you blow the lid on this whole "you cant lose fat and gain muscle at the same time" notion. It always annoys me to hear guys in my high school saying u hav to bulk up with countless calories before u can get ripped once again thanks
@dowezee I M A VEGETERIAN TOO, u are probably skinny as i m thx for company!
What would be an alternative for this if you don't have access to a gym? Basically can I do a exercise similar to this at home?
hold a dumbbell with your hands and do the same motion
Wal-Mart sells cables that attach to your door.
40 sec intro, jeez.
@dowezee yes u r right buddy i completely agreee with you vegetarians are probably the healthiest persons in the world my experience is that i have very low body fat levels and as a result i have naturel abs if i flex them being a vegetarian is not bad at all but sometimes i feel a bit uncomfortable with others cause the meat eaters are big !! lool :DDD take care buddy!!
i love your vids, but the intros are really loud, they always get me by surprise. maybe thats the point, to wake me up!
He doesn't age.
if it hurts it works thts my moto hahah
Hello Jeff, if I do the woodchopper, should i pivot my foot and rotate hips? if not, why not? if yes, why?
best to pivot, so as to focus on core muscles.
Hey Jeff, great excersise. As mentioned, it can be done with bands aswell and it may be equally effective. One thing, I bought the Deltoid TNT series yesterday, but haven't gotten an email to download it yet, I also wrote a mail to getripped@athleanx.com but haven't gotten an answer! Maybe you can help me out to recieve the digital stuff.
Let me know
Jens
and what if we dont have that thing..
Go out and buy one
Get Bands and fix them on your door hinges
dam you haven't aged
40 second intro... wtf
Way too much bicep and not enough forearm to be a practical build.
Segadoway where you at now ?
@@sahilvig22 The world may never know.
Jeff have you ever taken any illegal substances in your past? Somebody i know who sells supplements saw me watching one of your vids and said you were on something either now or in your past. I don't think you're on anything atm but if you were on something, then my image of you is destroyed.
Don't tell anyone, but I think he once took creatine.
I tried this with my clients, but I didn't feel much nor did they. I had my hands separate. They didn't, but I did.
i love jeff just wish he didnt use the bands so much, i would really like to try most of the exercises he does with said bands, but if you are a homer like me it is just very hard to implement these things,i have a total gym 5000, decline, incline, flat bench, a pull up bar on my total gym, even still having said all that still really cant implement bands on 90% of the band exercises he shows... just saying
Thats cables. Bands can be used everywhere.
