This is a unique variation of the normal back extension exercise.  You'll do it using a low pulley to provide direct lateral tension on the body (from one side only) as you perform the exercise.  

This works the stabilizing muscles of the spine by forcing them to counter the torque that the cable is putting on the torso.  There is no twisting involved...just countering the tension.  

Very effective for improving spinal muscle strength and stability!
