How to do a cable pull through

  1. Attach a rope to a low pulley and face away from the stack.
  2. Reach between your legs, grab the rope and walk forward a few steps.
  3. Stand with your feet wider than hip width and your arms hanging between your legs.
  4. Hinge at your hips, letting the rope pull your hands back between your legs.
  5. Drive your hips forward to stand tall, squeezing your glutes at the top.

Form tips

  • Keep knees slightly bent throughout the entire movement
  • Focus on hip hinge movement rather than squatting down
  • Maintain neutral spine by keeping chest up and core engaged
  • The movement should be driven by your glutes and hamstrings
  • Avoid using your arms to pull the weight
