Cable Pull-Through
The cable pull-through is a hip-hinge movement that targets the glutes with constant cable tension. It is an excellent exercise for learning the hip-hinge pattern and for glute activation.
How to Perform
Stand facing away from a low cable, straddling the rope attachment.
Hinge at the hips, pushing your butt back toward the cable stack.
Drive your hips forward explosively to stand up straight.
Squeeze your glutes at the top and hold for a second.
Keep your arms straight — they are just holding the rope, not pulling.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Squatting instead of hinging — push hips back, not knees forward.
Pulling with the arms instead of driving with the hips.
Hyperextending the lower back at the top.
