The glute pull-through is a highly effective exercise for developing the hip extensors—especially the glutes. While the traditional cable variation can lead to hyperextension of the spine and excessive arm involvement, starting with a resistance band helps eliminate those issues. It takes the arms out of the equation and places the focus squarely on the hips.
Once you’ve maxed out the horizontal loading provided by the bands, you can progress the movement by adding vertical loading with dumbbells. At that point, it essentially becomes a hybrid between a glute pull-through and a semi-stiff-leg deadlift—giving you the best of both worlds.

The 70-Degree Incline Swiss Bar Press: A Safer Way to Build Strength
A neutral-grip Swiss bar is shoulder-friendly, but the setup can get awkward fast. Using a 70-degree incline bench keeps the press strong, controlled, and easier to clear without excessive leaning.
Hanging Garhammer Raise
The hanging Garhammer raise puts the lower abs in the spotlight while reducing the hip-flexor takeover common in many hanging leg-raise variations. Start from the floor if needed, then earn the hanging version.
Radial and Ulnar Flexion
Radial and ulnar flexion are not glamorous, but balanced wrists and forearms need more than curls and extensions. These neglected movement patterns deserve periodic programming.
