This exercise helps improve hip mobility and stability for the active straight leg raise pattern.
Cable Bar Assisted Deadlift
This exercise patterns the hip hinge in order to improve deadlift mechanics.
- Starting Position:
- Standing
This exercise patterns the hip hinge in order to improve deadlift mechanics.
Set-up: Face away from the machine, feet shoulder-width apart, and hold the cable bar against the back. The cable bar should be anchored from a high cable attachment. The bar should maintain 3 points of contact against the head, thoracic spine, and sacrum throughout the entire movement.
Action: Proceed to perform a hip hinge by reaching the hips straight back while the shins remain relatively vertical. As the chest begins to lower, the spine should remain neutral and in contact with the cable bar.
Return: At the end of the deadlift pattern, begin to ascend by bringing the hips forward and the spine upwards. Return to the starting position with proper posture and spinal alignment.
