Hey today in the pull A workout I saw the wood chipper exercise which needs an adjustable height cable machine. My gym doesn't have it. Is there any replacement exercise for it?. Either using dumbels or cable machine?

You can do Russian side twists where you sit on the floor with your knees bent. You take a dumbell or weight plate and hold it between your two hands. You then twist all the way to the right, come center, then twist all the way to the left, then come center again. That is 1 rep.

Great alternative! Give this a try @Shiva199517!
My gym doesn't have the adjustable cable machine either, the machine I use has the cable on the bottom so I've just been doing the wood choppers on that machine...should I stop doing them this way and replace it with the russian side twists too?
No you can keep doing them from the bottom position. It will still be working your entire oblique, just placing a little more emphasis on the lower section.
