Cable Hip Flexion

Form Cues

• Attach an ankle strap to a low cable pulley and secure it around the ankle of the working leg.

• Stand facing away from the cable machine, holding the frame or a rack for balance.

• Stand tall on the non-working leg with a slight bend in the knee.

• Start with the working leg slightly behind you, cable pulling it back.

• Raise the working leg forward by flexing at the hip, bringing the knee up toward your chest.

• Raise to at least 90 degrees at the hip — aim to bring the thigh parallel to the floor or higher.

• Squeeze the hip flexor at the top and hold briefly.

• Lower with control, resisting the cable back to the start.

• Keep your torso upright — avoid leaning back to cheat the lift.

• Complete all reps on one side before switching.
