Cable Deadlifts

We love Cable Deadlifts because they're easy on the joints but big on results. Grip that handle, bend at the hips like you're reaching for a jar of honey on the bottom shelf, and stand tall with a proud bear chest. This move works your glutes, hamstrings, and back while keeping things smooth and steady. A solid pick for any bear looking to lift with grace and growl!

Instructions

1. Set the cable machine to the lowest setting with an appropriate weight.
2. Attach a straight bar or handles to the cable.
3. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
4. Grasp the bar or handles with both hands, palms facing your body.
5. Keep your back straight and bend at your hips and knees to lower your torso.
6. Pull the weight up by extending your hips and knees to a standing position.
7. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement.
8. Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
