One-Legged Cable Kickback

Glutes · Cable · one side at a time

How to do it

Ankle strap on the low pulley, standing facing the tower and holding on so you do not swing. Take the leg back with the knee slightly bent and **the hip still**, squeezing the glute at the end. Return under control. You feel that glute. The classic mistake is arching your lower back to get the leg higher: that extra range comes from your spine, not your glute.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
