How to do the Band Good Morning Pull-through
Loop the band around a post. Standing a little ways away, loop the opposite end around the neck. Your hands can help hold the band in position.
Begin by bending at the hips, getting your butt back as far as possible. Keep your back flat and bend forward to about 90 degrees. Your knees should be only slightly bent.
Return to the starting position be driving through with the hips to come back to a standing position.

| Goal | Sets | Reps | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muscle growth | 3–4 | 8–12 | 2.5 min |
| Muscular endurance | 2–3 | 15–20 | 1 min |
When you hit the top of the rep range on every set, add a rep or a harder variation next session.
Starting points from training research. Stop each set 1–3 reps short of failure.

Secondary
The hamstrings bend the knee and extend the hip, so train both: hinges like Romanian deadlifts and leg curls.
Alternatives
Same muscles, similar movement: swap in one of these if the Band Good Morning Pull-through doesn’t suit your gym or your joints.
