Table of Contents
Stand facing away from a low cable pulley, straddling the cable. Reach between your legs and grip the rope attachment. Hinge at the hips, pushing your glutes back until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, then drive your hips forward to stand tall and squeeze your glutes hard at the top.
Pro Tips
- Keep your arms straight throughout — the movement comes entirely from the hips
- Maintain a soft knee bend but avoid turning this into a squat
- A great warm-up or finisher for lower body days
