Handle Band Straight-Arm Pulldown
The handle band straight-arm pulldown works the lats and upper back using a handled band anchored overhead for a smooth, steady pull. Keeping your elbows locked puts the emphasis on the lats rather than the arms. It's a distinct variation that helps build back strength and reinforce upright posture.
How to do it
- 1
Loop a band over a pull-up bar or high anchor and stand beneath it, feet shoulder-width apart.
- 2
Grab the handles overhand and extend your arms out in front of your shoulders.
- 3
Keeping your arms straight with only a slight elbow bend, pull the handles down to the sides of your hips.
- 4
Squeeze your back at the bottom for a moment.
- 5
Return the handles to the start under control and repeat.
