Hannah Demonstrates the Banded Pull Through TECHNIQUE: This exercise requires a band and focuses on the hinge movement pattern. Holding and exercise band between your legs, walk out so there is tension on the band. Hinge your hips forward then raise your chest pulling the band through. ADVANTAGES: This is a great way to work on back, glutes and hamstring activation. It is an excellent warm up or substitute for kettlebell swing and building the deadlift form. FAULTS: The most common fault is too much bend in the knees and the collapsing of the shoulders. SCALING: This can be made more difficult by using a thicker band and can be made easier by using a thinner band for resistance or no band and working on that hinge motion against a wall.
