How to Do the Cable Pull-Through

How to Do the Cable Pull-Through

If your goal is to develop your glutes and hamstrings without putting too much strain on your back, go for the cable pull-through. This exercise can be done using a stack of cables or resistance bands. The procedures are the same in both situations.

Step

To begin, fasten a band to a secure platform, such as a squat rack. Loop one end of the band through the other to do this. More strain and physical demands are placed on the muscles by thicker resistance bands. All you have to do to use a cable stack is fasten rope handles to the pulley system. 

Step 

To ensure that there is no slack in the band, stand a little distance away from the cable stack or squat rack. Turn your back on the anchor point. The farther you are from the anchor, the harder it is to employ resistance bands.

Set your feet firmly down on the ground. To grab the band or rope attachment between your legs, hinge at the hips. To ensure that the band or cable doesn’t rub against your crotch, keep your arms straight. As an alternative, bend your arms to make room for your stomach as needed. Just watch out that you don’t pull through your arms; instead, let your hamstrings and glutes do the heavy lifting.

Step

Keep your knees slightly apart and your hands near to your hips. Permit the strain to cause your hips to revert. Keep your shoulders back and down and your back flat as you flex your hips.

Step

After extending as far back as you can, take a moment to move. From there, actively stretch your glute muscles as you begin to ascend.  While pushing your hips forward, try to keep your balance and elevate them upward. The place where you finish should be the same as step two.
