Cable Narrow Chair Stand-Up
A narrow-stance squat holding a low cable's handle at the chest, facing the stack; the cable's pull lets you sit back deep and stand up tall.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a low pulley a step away, feet together or close, the handle held at the chest with both hands.
Steps
- Sit the hips back and down as if onto a low chair.
- Keep the handle at the chest and the heels down.
- Stand up tall, squeezing the glutes at the top.
Common mistakes
Heels lifting in the narrow stance: sit back more and keep the weight on the heels. Letting the handle pull the arms out: keep it pinned to the chest. Knees knocking together: keep them over the toes.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
