BASE MOVEMENT · HOW TO DO IT

Cable Hip Abduction

Start lighter and use less range than you think you need. The rep should stay smooth from beginning to end.

  1. 01
    Set up

    Attach an ankle cuff to the outside leg, stand tall beside the cable, and hold the machine for balance.

  2. 02
    Move

    Keep the pelvis level as you move the cuffed leg out to the side, leading with the heel.

  3. 03
    Finish

    Stop before the torso leans, pause, and return the leg slowly without letting the stack pull you.

GLUTES & HIPS / 33

Short rangeShort range

Cable Hip Abduction

Sets: 3 · Reps: 10–20 per side

Train the lateral hip directly without turning the movement into a side bend.

Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The working leg moves away from the midline and finishes with the hip abductors shortened while the cable supplies consistent tension.
