Between the Leg Cable Pulls/Band Pulls

A great exercise to put in place of Back Hyper’s or Reverse Back Hyper exercise is the between the leg cable pull or between the leg band pull.

This form of movement is a much safer alternative since anterior shear forces are imposed on the Back Hyper and Reverse Back Hyper, and with the cable pull it is decreased by the musculature and the facet joints. The “Hip Hinge” motion is emphasized in this pattern of movement.

Just attach a band at a low level, at ground level, or set the cable pull machine at the lowest level. Straddle the band/cable, hinging at the hips, bend down and grip the handle. Keeping the arms straight, stand upright, pushing the hips forward. Do set number of reps and sets.
