Pull-throughs question

[Backlash]

How do you hit lower back vs hams? They both need to have straight legs right? I couldn't really see a difference in form in the Asylum videos for the 2, so I'm guessing it's a subtle stance difference or something like that?

bent legs = hams/hips emphasis

straight legs = low back emphasis

Bump - is that it? In spatts's video it looks like her legs are straight for both types.

here is what i do........

for hams........ i do pull thrus with straight leg pulling me as far possible thru my legs and pull my upperbody to a 45 degree angle.

for lower back .....i do the same thing as above, except i dont get pulled as far thru my legs, but i come up higher.

for hips .......... i do bent leg.

i hope that helps.
