Cable Pull-Through
The cable pull-through teaches the hip hinge pattern with constant cable tension and zero spinal load. Face away from a low pulley, hinge forward, then drive your hips through to standing while the cable pulls from between your legs.
How to Perform
Straddle a rope attachment from a low pulley and walk forward a few steps to create tension.
Hinge at the hips, letting the cable pull your hands back between your legs.
Keep your arms straight — this is a hip movement, not a pull.
Snap your hips forward to stand tall, squeezing glutes and hamstrings at the top.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Squatting instead of hinging — the knees should bend slightly but the hips do the work.
Pulling with the arms, which takes tension off the hamstrings and glutes.
Not walking far enough from the machine, resulting in slack cable at the bottom.
