I did 80 cable pull throughs every day for a week — here’s what happened to my legs

Quad-dominant exercises always pull focus, so I decided to do 80 cable pull throughs every day for a week to give my hamstrings and glutes a grilling. If you’re well-versed in exercises like the pull through, Good Morning, or Romanian deadlift, you might sympathize with this one. 

Your hamstrings and glutes engage during exercises like squats and lunges, but cable pull throughs focus primarily on strengthening and sculpting them. You can perform a pull through using some of the best adjustable dumbbells and resistance bands, but my favorite technique is the cable pull through because you can scale difficulty with more stability and control.
