How to Do Cable Pull-Through: Step by Step
- Face away from low cable, rope between legs
- Hinge at hips, letting cable pull hands back
- Drive hips forward explosively, squeezing glutes
- Stand tall at the top — don't hyperextend
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Squatting instead of hinging
- Using arms to pull
- Hyperextending at the top
Cable Pull-Through Tips
