Straight-Arm Pulldown

Back · Cable

How to do it

Standing facing the high pulley with a straight bar or rope, arms nearly straight and torso hinged forward from the hips. Sweep the bar down in an arc to your thighs **without bending the elbows** and squeeze the lats at the end. Return letting your arms travel above your head. It is the best lat isolation there is: the biceps take no part. You feel it under the armpit.
