Cable Kneeling Hip Abduction
The cable hip abduction on all fours: side-on to a low pulley, the straight far leg sweeps out and up to the side against the cable.
How to do it
Setup
On all fours side-on to a low pulley, the ankle strap on the far leg, that leg straight with the toes near the floor.
Steps
- Sweep the straight leg out to the side up to hip height.
- Keep the hips square and the back flat.
- Return under tension without letting the stack rest; switch sides.
Common mistakes
Trunk leaning away from the leg: the torso stays square over the hands. Leg rising behind instead of to the side: the path is sideways. Stack clanging between reps: keep the tension.
Breathing
Exhale on the sweep, inhale returning.
