Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Cable Squat.
A squat variation using a low cable pulley for resistance, allowing a more upright torso position compared to a barbell squat. The cable provides constant tension throughout the movement and makes the exercise accessible for beginners or those working on squat mechanics.
The Cable Squat is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
