Cable pull through

Muscles involved

Mastering the hip hinge completely boosts your confidence when training the back of your body. With the cable pull through, using the cable machine, you will experience exactly where the work should be felt without putting unnecessary stress on your lower back. During a great set, you feel how the constant tension of the cable guides your glutes and hamstrings into a deep stretch on the way back, followed by a powerful contraction as you extend your hips forward. The secret lies in maintaining total control throughout: when you hit that fluid rhythm where your torso stays firm and your feet are rooted, every repetition feels solid and precise. Stop guessing whether you are engaging the right muscles and start feeling that clean burn that proves your technique is spot on.

How to do it

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and grip a cable between your legs. 2. Slightly bend your knees and hips, keeping your back straight. 3. Pull the cable forward by extending your legs and straightening your torso. 4. Return controllably to the starting position.
