Wood Chop down to up, progression #3, just plain stupid

Standing on a fit-ball is madness we're in no way shape or form responsible for your safety if you're foolish enough to try this exercise. OK fool, stand on a weight tested fit-ball on a perfectly spotless floor surrounded by mats with a your hips perpendicular to the weight stack and handle in the bottom position. Grasp the handle first with the hand furthest away from the cable then lock the other hand over it. Position your ball away from the machine far enough so that the weight stack is "loaded" throughout the movement. Keeping your arms straight and maintaining impeccable posture and spinal alignment pull the handle diagonally from low to high, coming from outside the foot closest to the cable to outside the opposite shoulder with your arms high, extended through the thoracic spine. Other than that nice high reach there is no flexion and extension in the back.
