Technique

How to perform Band Pull Through

  1. Secure the long loop band to a stable low anchor behind you.
  2. Face away from the anchor, grip the band between your legs, and move forward enough to remove slack.
  3. With a slight knee bend, push your hips backward while keeping your trunk position steady.
  4. Let your hands travel back between your legs with the hinge; do not turn it into an arm pull.
  5. Extend your hips to stand upright without leaning backward at the top.
  6. Hinge back under control while maintaining the band setup.
