How to Do
How to Do Cable Deadlift
The cable deadlift should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the cable deadlift.
Beginning
Beginning Cable Deadlift
1. Begin by attaching a rope or bar handle to the carriage's pulley and standing in front of it.
2. Choose the level of resistance you wish to start with (once you become more comfortable with the movement, increase the weight little by little.)
Movement
Cable Deadlift Movement
1. Grab the rope or bar and stand a few steps away from the machine.
2. Next, engage your core and push out your chest while maintaining a slight curvature in your lower back.
3. Inhale, then slowly bend your hips with a tiny bend in your knees and extend your arms forwards - this is referred to as a hinge movement pattern.
4. Apply tension carefully and bring the bar forward towards your lower body after you feel a slight stretch in your hamstrings. As you near the top position, push your hips into the movement, somewhat hyperextending your back. Engage your glutes and pull with all of your strength.
5. Keep the position for a count of "one" for an isometric hold.
