Rope Straight-Arm Pulldown

Back · Cable

How to do it

Standing facing the high pulley with a rope or bar, arms extended overhead. With the elbows nearly fixed, sweep your hands down and forward in a long arc to your hips. It is a pullover with constant tension: the lat also works in the stretched part, which a dumbbell cannot give you. You feel it under the armpit and along your side. Moderate weight, wide arc.
