Cable Deadlift
About
The cable deadlift is a compound exercise that strengthens your back and lower body. It’s especially effective for your lower back, glutes, and hamstrings.
How to Cable Deadlift
Starting Position
1. Stand in front of the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Grab the cable handles with both hands and slightly bend your knees.
3. Keep your back straight and lean your upper body slightly forward.
Proper Form
1. Push your hips back while leaning your upper body forward, and naturally pull the cable towards your body.
2. Feel the tension in your hamstrings and glutes as you lower yourself.
3. Push your hips forward and straighten your back as you return to the original position.
Breathing Technique
Inhale as you bend your upper body forward, and exhale as you rise and return to the starting position.
Precautions
1. Engage your core to prevent your back from rounding.
2. Do not excessively bend your knees, and proceed with a weight that suits you.
3. If you feel back pain, stop immediately.
