Cable Pull Through - More variation for the legs

• Sitting muscles
• Hamstrings
• Back extender

Therefore this exercise is perfect for every leg training and bum training plan.

Stand with your back to the cable pull (set very low) and grip the cable handle between your legs. Take a big step forward to tighten the cable. Now stand upright with your legs stretched and your bottom tensed, your hands resting on your thighs and the cable between your legs pulling backwards. With your back straight, bend your knees and stretch your bottom backwards until your body is in a straight line from the shoulders to the hips. Move your arms with the cable and keep your abdominal muscles tense throughout the exercise.

Then return to your starting position by stretching your knees again and pushing your pelvis forward. Your arms are thereby passively pushed forward. Tighten your bottom again in the final position and hold this position. Repeat this sequence of movements for 4 sets with 10-12 repetitions each. Take a 90 second rest between sets.

Start with a light weight → Increase weight per set if possible!

To do the exercise on the cable pull, you probably have no choice but to go to the gym. No other weights are required. Not possible at home.

There are no variations for this exercise, as it can only be performed with special equipment, which cannot be varied. However, you can do this exercise on your knees to focus the exercise more on your hamstrings and your bottom and to relieve your lower back a bit.

Do not use your arms to move the rope forward. You should use your hips and your bottom to perform this exercise correctly.
