Cable Pull-Through

Cable Pull-Through

Attach a rope handle to a low pulley and stand facing away from the machine. Straddle the cable and grab the rope between your legs. Step forward to create tension. Hinge at the hips, letting the rope pull your hands back between your thighs. Drive your hips forward by squeezing your glutes to return to a standing position. Keep your arms straight throughout and avoid pulling with your upper body.
