Exercise Description: Grab the object (sandbag, cable, band) between your legs, pull it through your legs by utilizing your hamstrings, low back, and glutes. I prefer to pull the band slightly in front to emphasize squeezing the glutes.
The other cable and band variation is to snap it up only to between the legs and not in front. Both variations work fine.
The sandbag will add grip and deceleration as you must controll the odd object during the exercise.
Muscles Targeted: Low back, hamstrings, glutes
