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