Primary muscles: Glutes

Secondary muscles: Hamstrings, Lower Back

How to do it

  1. Begin standing a few feet in front of a low pulley with a rope or handle attached. Face away from the machine, straddling the cable, with your feet set wide apart.
  2. Begin the movement by reaching through your legs as far as possible, bending at the hips. Keep your knees slightly bent. Keeping your arms straight, extend through the hip to stand straight up. Avoid pulling upward through the shoulders; all of the motion should originate through the hips.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Pull Through from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Glutes volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
