The Cable Pull Through with Rope is an exercise commonly used in strength training to target the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back muscles. It involves using a cable machine with a rope attachment to perform a hip hinge movement, similar to a kettlebell swing.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Pull Through with Rope exercise, follow these steps:1. Begin by setting up a cable machine with a low pulley attachment and attaching a rope handle to the machine.
2. Stand facing away from the cable machine, with your feet shoulder-width apart and a slight bend in your knees.
3. Grab the rope handle with both hands, palms facing each other, and position your arms straight down in front of you.
4. Engage your core muscles and hinge at the hips, keeping your back straight and chest up, as you push your hips back and lower the rope handle towards the floor.
5. Keep your arms straight as you push your hips forward and stand up, using your glutes and hamstrings to complete the movement.
6. Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement and then slowly lower the rope handle back down to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It's important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid injury and effectively target the intended muscles. Additionally, it's recommended to start with a lighter weight and focus on mastering the movement before increasing the resistance.
Equipment required
Cable
Cable equipment consists of adjustable pulleys attached to weight stacks that allow for resistance training. This equipment is commonly used for strength training exercises that target various muscle groups in the body, such as chest, back, arms, and legs. Cable equipment provides a versatile and functional way to perform exercises that mimic real-life movements, improving muscle endurance, stability, and coordination.
