How to do the Cable Split Squat
- Stand in front of a low pulley cable machine with a bar attached and grab it with both hands using an overhand grip. Take a step back into a split stance with one foot forward and one foot behind.
- Hold the bar extended along the cable and keep your torso upright.
- Lower your body by bending both knees until your thigh is parallel to the floor. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired repetitions.
Form tips
- Keep your front knee aligned with your ankle throughout the movement.
- Lower yourself slowly to avoid unnecessary strain on the knee joint.
- Avoid locking out the knees at the top to keep muscles under tension.
