1. Set up a cable machine with the desired weight and attach a straight bar or rope handle to the lower pulley.
2. Place a stepbox in front of the cable machine.
3. Stand on the stepbox with feet hip-width apart and face the cable machine.
4. Bend down and grasp the handle with both hands using an overhand grip. Ensure your back is straight and your core is engaged.
5. Stand up straight, pulling the cable between your legs while keeping your arms extended, locking out your hips, and squeezing your glutes at the top.
6. Lower the weight back down by hinging at the hips, pushing your buttocks back and keeping your back straight. Keep a slight bend in your knees and go as low as your flexibility allows without rounding your back.
7. Raise back to the starting position by extending your hips and standing back up straight.
8. Repeat for the desired number of reps, making sure to maintain proper form throughout the set.
Ensure proper form is maintained to avoid injury and maximize the effectiveness of the exercise. Adjust the weight accordingly to match your strength levels.
