Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Cable Standing Hip Flexion.
A unilateral cable exercise that isolates the hip flexors by driving one knee forward and upward against cable resistance. Performed standing at a low pulley with an ankle strap, it directly targets the rectus femoris and iliopsoas while requiring core stability throughout.
The Cable Standing Hip Flexion 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.
