Cable Side Leg Kick from Back
A standing cable kick with the ankle strap on the far leg, the leg sweeping out and back on a diagonal between the side abduction and the kickback.
How to do it
Setup
Side-on to a low pulley, the ankle strap on the far leg, hands on the hips, body upright.
Steps
- Kick the straight leg out and back on a diagonal.
- Hold the end position for a beat without leaning.
- Return under tension; switch sides after the set.
Common mistakes
Torso tipping forward to kick higher: stay upright. Leg drifting straight out to the side: keep the diagonal back. Stack slamming between reps: slow return.
Breathing
Exhale on the sweep, inhale returning.
