Cable Pull-Through with Rotation
Coaching cues
- Face away from a low cable; straddle the cable in a hinge
- Drive hips through; add a trunk rotation at the top
- Reach the arms to one side at lockout; alternate sides
- Power from the hips — arms follow the rotation
Common faults 2
Squatting instead of hinging
Knee bend too deep; glutes lose the pull-through loading.
