Cable Donkey Diagonal Kickback
The bent-knee cable kickback aimed back and out on a diagonal, torso leaning into the frame.
How to do it
Setup
Ankle strap on a low pulley, hands on the frame, torso leaning forward.
Steps
- Drive the bent leg back and out at a diagonal.
- Hold the squeeze at the far end of the diagonal.
- Return along the same line, stack hovering.
Common mistakes
Kicking straight back: the diagonal is the point; aim out. Rotating the hips open: face the frame. Letting the plates touch between reps: keep tension.
Breathing
Exhale on the kick, inhale returning.
