Cable Straight-Leg Pull Through

Cable Straight Legs Pull Through Instructions

- Straight handle attachment

Positioning

1. Set Up the Machine: Adjust the cable machine to the lowest setting and attach the straight handle.
2. Stand Ready: Stand facing away from the machine with your feet hip-width apart, and grasp the handle with both hands.
3. Position Your Body: Take a few steps forward to create tension in the cable. Bend slightly at the hips while keeping your back straight. Your torso should be leaning forward at about a 30-degree angle.

Movement

1. Start Position: Your arms should be fully extended in front of you, holding the handle. Engage your core and keep your head neutral.
2. Pull Through: Inhale and start the movement by driving your hips forward, pulling the cable handle through your legs.
3. Stand Upright: As you pull the handle through, stand up straight, thrusting your hips forward and squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement.
4. Return to Start: Slowly hinge at the hips and allow the handle to move back through your legs to the starting position, keeping the tension on the cable throughout the movement.
5. Repeat: Perform 10-15 repetitions, ensuring controlled movements and proper form.

Tips

- Keep your back straight and shoulder blades pulled back throughout the exercise.
- Focus on using your hips and glutes to power the movement rather than pulling with your arms.
- Adjust the weight on the cable machine to ensure the exercise is challenging but manageable.
