How to do it

De pie sobre la banda, bisagra de cadera con la espalda recta y las rodillas casi extendidas hasta notar el estiramiento en el isquiotibial. La banda tensa más cuanto más arriba, al revés que la barra.

Muscles worked

Mainly isquiotibiales. Train it inside a balanced routine to progress safely.

Recommended sets and reps

As a compound lift, it fits in 3–5 sets of 5–12 reps leaving 1–3 reps in reserve (RIR). Prioritize it at the start of the session, when you're fresh.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Rounding the lower back when hinging: the movement should come from the hips, not the spine.
• Using too much weight at the cost of technique and full range of motion.
• Doing reps too fast, without controlling the eccentric (lowering) phase.

Alternative exercises

• Romanian deadlift
• Single-leg RDL
• Glute-ham raise
• Good mornings
• Lying leg curl
