To maximize your glute training for a well-rounded shape, it’s crucial to target the smaller glute muscles – sometimes through isolation work. The cable machine is an excellent tool for this purpose.
Here’s how to do the Cable Abduction
Attach an ankle strap to one ankle and connect it to the cable machine at ankle height.
Stand tall and steady next to the machine with your strapped ankle farthest away from it. Hold onto the machine for stability and pull the cable out, away from the machine.
Keep both legs straight and pull your strapped ankle away from the machine (to the side) until it is fully abducted, then return to the starting position under control.
Ensure the movement originates from the hip joint, keeping the rest of your body as still as possible.
