Straight Arm Lat Pulldown

  1. Adjust the cable machine to a high position and attach a straight bar to the cable.
  2. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
  3. Grasp the bar with both hands using an overhand grip, with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  4. Engage your core and keep your arms straight as you pull the bar down towards your thighs, using your lats to initiate the movement.
  5. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly release the bar back up to the starting position.
  6. Repeat.
