Cable Glute Ipsilateral Dominant Step-Up

Position a step plate or a stable platform near a cable machine.

Attach a low cable to an ankle strap and secure it around the ankle of one leg.

Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart. The leg with the ankle strap should be closest to the machine.

Step onto the platform with the leg that is free from the ankle strap.

Using the glute muscles of the stepping leg, press through the heel to lift your body up onto the platform.

Reach a full standing position on the platform, ensuring your knee is in line with your toes and not extending past them.

Pause briefly at the top while squeezing the glutes.

Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position, controlling the movement with your glute and leg muscles.

Complete the desired number of repetitions and sets for one leg before switching the ankle strap to the other leg and repeating the steps.

Maintain a straight posture throughout the exercise and avoid leaning forward too much. Use the handles on the machine for balance if necessary.

Remember to adjust the weight to match your strength level and to perform the exercise with controlled movements, focusing on engaging the target muscles during the step-up phase. Always prioritize form over the amount of weight to prevent injury.
