Cable Pull Through

How to do it

  1. Attach a rope to a low pulley and stand facing away from the machine with the rope between your legs, feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Grip the rope with both hands and walk forward until there is tension, then set a slight bend in the knees.
  3. Hinge at the hips and let the rope travel back between your legs, keeping the core braced and the spine neutral.
  4. Drive your hips forward to stand tall, squeezing the core and finishing with the rope in front of your hips.
  5. Exhale as you drive the hips forward and inhale as you hinge back into the next repetition.
  6. Avoid rounding the lower back at the bottom of the hinge; keep the chest lifted throughout.
