Exercise Description

The sled pull through exercise builds explosive hamstring and glute power while improving hip mobility. It teaches proper hip hinge movement patterns.

How To

1. Set up a sled with moderate weight and attach a rope or strap handle 2. Stand facing away from the sled with feet shoulder-width apart, rope between your legs 3. Hinge at hips and grab the rope with both hands, keeping your back straight 4. Drive through your heels and thrust your hips forward to pull the sled while squeezing your glutes 5. Control the movement back to starting position and repeat the sled pull through motion

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and shoulders back throughout the sled pull through movement • Focus on driving your hips forward, not pulling with your arms • Maintain a neutral spine and avoid rounding your back during the exercise • Start with lighter weight to master the hip hinge pattern before adding load

Common Mistakes

• Using too much arm strength instead of driving through the hips in sled pull through • Rounding the back or losing neutral spine position during the movement • Not fully extending the hips at the top of each sled pull through rep
