How to perform

Attach a bar or rope to the lowest cable setting. Stand facing the machine, feet hip-width apart, using an overhand grip. Step back to create tension, arms straight, shoulders back. Engage your core, slightly bend knees. Hinge at the hips, lowering the handle towards your shins, feeling a hamstring stretch. Pause, then drive hips forward to return to start.

Tips

Maintain a flat back and avoid rounding shoulders. Focus on hip hinge, not waist bend. Keep a slight bend in your knees. Engage your core for spine stability. Control the movement throughout. Start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form.
