Cable Donkey Kickback
The cable kickback from a deep forward lean: the knee starts under the hip and drives straight back until the leg is long.
How to do it
Setup
Hinged well forward, hands on the frame, ankle strap on a low pulley.
Steps
- Start with the working knee under the hip.
- Drive the leg straight back until it is long.
- Bring it back under the hip with control.
Common mistakes
Standing taller as the leg rises: hold the hinge still. Arching the lower back to kick higher: stop at the line of the torso. Yanking the stack: smooth out and back.
Breathing
Exhale on the kick, inhale returning.
