How to

  1. 1Attach a rope to a low pulley, face away from the stack and take the rope between your legs, stepping forward until the cable is under tension.
  2. 2Push your hips back, letting your hands travel between your legs until you feel a hamstring stretch.
  3. 3Drive your hips forward to stand tall and squeeze your glutes.
  4. 4Keep your back flat and your arms straight; the movement comes from the hips, not the arms.
