Step by step

Attach a cable cuff to your ankle and set the pulley to the lowest position, then face the cable stack.
Stand a few feet back from the stack and rest your forearms on a flat bench in front of you.
Brace your core and start with the working leg lightly forward so the cable has tension at rest.
Drive the straight leg back and up by squeezing the glute, finishing in line with or slightly above your torso.
Pause at the top for a hard glute squeeze, keeping your hips level and your lower back neutral.
Lower the leg under control back to the start, then repeat for 12 to 15 reps before switching sides.
