Cable Hanging Leg Raise
The hanging knee raise with the ankles strapped to the low cables; the stack loads the legs, so the tuck works against a set weight.
How to do it
Setup
Hanging from a bar inside a cable station, ankle straps on, the cables running to the low pulleys.
Steps
- Draw the knees up to hip height against the cables.
- Curl the pelvis up a little at the top.
- Lower the legs slowly, letting the stack settle.
Common mistakes
Cables yanking the legs back down: resist them all the way to the hang. Body swinging toward a pulley: brace and keep the hips under the bar. Too heavy a stack: the knees stall below hip height; lighten it.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
