Cable System

The cable creates a forward pull that guides the body into the hinge. The cable creates a forward pull on the torso that is used to generate lateral hip engagement rather than act as a primary resistance source. The handle should be pulled close to the body before pressing upward in the diagonal pattern. The cable machine is used at its low pulley setting for this exercise. Either a rope handle or two individual handles can be used as the cable attachment. The cable system should be set to the low position for this exercise. The exercise can be performed using either a cable system or a resistance band anchored to a stable point such as a door. The athlete stands sideways to the cable stack throughout the exercise. The cable pulley is set to the low position for this exercise.
