How to: Cable Pull Through (with rope)
- Attach a rope handle to a low pulley on a cable machine.
- Stand facing away from the machine, holding the rope with both hands and arms extended.
- Start with a slight bend in the knees and hinge at the hips to allow the weight to travel between your legs.
- Maintain a straight back and engage your core throughout the movement.
- Push your hips forward, standing up straight as you pull the rope through your legs to align with your body.
- Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement and then return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Arching the back during the movement.
- Using too much momentum instead of controlled movement.
- Failing to fully extend or contract the hip.
Modifications
- Use lighter weight or resistance to start with.
- Perform the exercise without resistance if you have balance or strength issues.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged to maintain a neutral spine.
- Avoid hyperextending your lower back at the top of the movement.
- Focus on squeezing your glutes at the end of the pull-through.
