Which is the best pull exercise to do?

Seated Cable Crunch Cable crunch is a great pulling exercise effectively stretching your abdominal muscles if done properly. Focus on slowing down and controlling the weight during the eccentric part of the movement (stretching the muscle when going up) as well as keeping your hips stable and not sitting backwards during the exercise.

How often should I do a pull through?

There’s a reason why the pull-though has been a staple for 900-pound squatters: it works. The kettlebell swing is a great exercise, but the cable pull-through is easier to learn and very effective. The pull-through offers a unique training stimulus and it’s easier on the spine. Perform 3-4 sets of 8-15 reps once or twice per week.

Why are pull throughs a good training exercise?

Pull-throughs offer a unique training stimulus because you can load the posterior chain with a fraction of the compressive and shear loading forces on the spine. I consider pull-throughs to be a universal exercise that can be used by everyone regardless of training experience, goals, and to some extent, even injury history.
