woodchoppers

Forest timber cutters

Woodchoppers are people who chop wood, typically for firewood, lumber, or as competitive sport.

The term evokes images of laborers swinging axes to fell trees or split logs, though it also names participants in wood-chopping competitions where speed and precision are judged.

In fitness, woodchoppers refers to an exercise mimicking the chopping motion, typically performed with a medicine ball or cable machine to work the core and obliques.
