How to perform Pull Through
- Attach a rope or the approved single handle to the lowest cable setting.
- Face away from the machine, take the attachment between your legs with both hands and step forward to establish cable tension.
- Stand with your feet apart and keep a small bend in your knees.
- Push your hips backward and incline your torso, letting the attachment travel back between your legs while your spine stays controlled.
- Drive your hips forward to stand tall, keeping your arms long rather than curling or rowing the attachment.
- Finish upright without leaning your lower back farther backward, then repeat the controlled hinge.
