Plank Pull Through (Cable)

An advanced core exercise that develops stability and strength by pulling cable resistance while maintaining a plank position.

Instructions

1. Set the cable pulley to a low position and attach a single handle or rope.
2. Assume a plank position facing the cable machine, with your feet behind you and hands on the floor.
3. Reach one arm under your body, pulling the cable handle toward your torso while maintaining your plank.
4. Pause briefly, feeling your core and shoulder muscles stabilize.
5. Return the handle to the starting position in a controlled manner without rotating excessively.
6. Alternate arms or complete all repetitions on one side before switching.

Tips

• Maintain a rigid plank position throughout; avoid excessive rotation or hip drop.
• Keep your core engaged and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
• Move deliberately and under control; avoid jerky or ballistic movements.
• This is a challenging exercise; start with light resistance and focus on form.
• Modifications include performing from your knees or against a wall to reduce difficulty.
• Excellent for developing rotational stability and functional core strength.
