Cable Zercher Split Squat

1. 1Set up at a cable machine in a split squat stance holding the cable attachment at chest height with both hands in a Zercher grip position, elbows bent and inside the load. Lower into the split squat by bending both knees while keeping your torso upright and the cable tension pulling anteriorly, challenging your core to resist extension. Breathe in as you lower and exhale as you drive back to the top, maintaining a tall spine throughout. Avoid letting your front knee cave or your torso lean forward — the cable creates an anti-extension demand that trains core stiffness under load.
