Cable Pull-Through
How to do it
- Set a rope on the low pulley and face away from the stack.
- Straddle the cable and hold the rope between your legs, arms straight.
- Step forward to load the cable, feet shoulder-width.
- Push your hips back until you feel the stretch, then snap them forward and squeeze your glutes.
- Your arms are just hooks - if you pull with them, you are doing a row.
