Cable Straight Arm Pulldown
Expert Advice
Avoid bending your elbows to ensure that the lats are fully engaged and the focus is not shifted to the triceps.
How-to-do Steps
- Attach a bar to a high pulley cable and select the weight.
- Stand facing the cable machine, feet shoulder-width apart, and grasp the bar with an overhand grip.
- Keeping your arms straight, pull the bar down to your thighs by contracting your lats.
- Slowly return to the starting position while maintaining tension in your lats.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
