    Try doing the wood chop with a weighted medicine ball or dumbbell...

    (I know I posted this same suggestion to your profile, but thought the video might help explain it a little better!)

    I don't have a cable machine either, but I think when I get to stage 2 I am going to try to do it with resistance bands before trying the floor options.

    Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor.
    hold weight (I use 7 or 8kg db) in both hands, straight up in the air.
    Lower weight straight out to the floor on one side, arms straight, so your upper body will twist over. THen over to the opposite side.

    Easy!
