How to do Cable Bench Straight Leg Kickback
- Attach a cable cuff to your ankle and set the pulley to the lowest position, then face the cable stack.
- Stand a few feet back from the stack and rest your forearms on a flat bench in front of you.
- Brace your core and start with the working leg lightly forward so the cable has tension at rest.
- Drive the straight leg back and up by squeezing the glute, finishing in line with or slightly above your torso.
- Pause at the top for a hard glute squeeze, keeping your hips level and your lower back neutral.
- Lower the leg under control back to the start, then repeat for 12 to 15 reps before switching sides.
