The glute pull-through is a great exercise to target the hip extensors, especially the glutes and hamstrings. When performed with a cable machine, however, many clients tend to hyperextend their spine and overuse their arms—compensating where they shouldn’t.

A better option, particularly for beginners, is to use a resistance band. The band naturally reduces arm involvement and helps clients zero in on proper hip drive and posture. It’s a simple tweak that leads to better results.
