Cable Standing Hip Thrust
Facing a low pulley with the handle at arm's length, squat deep, then stand and drive the hips forward against the cable's pull.
How to do it
Setup
Facing the low pulley a step or two back, the handle in both hands at arm's length, feet shoulder-width.
Steps
- Sit into a deep squat, the arms reaching toward the pulley.
- Stand and drive the hips forward, the arms long.
- Squeeze the glutes at the top, then sink back into the squat.
Common mistakes
Rowing the handle in: the arms stay long; the hips move the stack. Weight tipping onto the toes: sit back into the heels. Leaning far back at the top: stand tall, ribs down.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale driving up.
