Cable Dead Lifts

Attach a suitable bar to a low pulley cable, placing your feet either side of the cable, ideally pushed against the machine or other solid object, keeping a slight bend in your legs throughout.

START

keep your back and arms straight throughout the exercises

FINISH

smoothly lower your back to the floor keeping your legs straight

Commence the exercise with a straight back, sitting upright, holding the bar at arms length with a strong comfortable handgrip, you may decide to place one hand over - with one hand under grip.

Keeping your arms straight lean slowly back, taking your back down to the floor, aiming to pull the bar close to your legs throughout the movement.

Allow the weighted cable to slowly pull you back up to the starting position, however aim to keep the tension on the cable, by not letting the weights totally stack in order to maintain the contraction in your back muscles.
