Coach's Tips

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, and exhale as you return to the starting position while raising your body.

Precautions

1. Engage your core to prevent your back from rounding.

2. Do not excessively bend your knees, and use a weight that is suitable for you.

3. If you feel back pain, stop immediately.
