The cable pull-through targets the posterior chain, primarily focusing on the glutes and hamstrings. It's an effective exercise for building strength and improving hip hinge mechanics. By using a cable machine, it provides constant tension throughout the movement.

How to do it

  1. Stand facing away from a low cable machine with feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Grab the rope handle between your legs with both hands.
  3. Bend at the hips, keeping the back straight, until your torso is almost parallel to the floor.
  4. Thrust your hips forward to stand upright, squeezing the glutes at the top.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining control throughout.
