Straight-Arm Pulldown
The straight-arm pulldown isolates the lats by taking the arms out of the equation. Because your elbows stay locked and the bar travels in an arc, the biceps step aside and the lats do the work. Sliding your grip toward the ends of the bar shifts exactly where you feel it across your back.
How to do it
- 1
Set the pulley to its highest point with a straight bar attached.
- 2
Grab the bar and step back a foot or two, feet about shoulder-width apart.
- 3
With arms extended and only a slight bend at the elbows, hinge your hips back so your torso tilts slightly toward the floor and the bar sits just above your head.
- 4
Brace your core to hold a neutral spine.
- 5
Keeping your arms straight, sweep the bar down in an arc to your hips.
- 6
Let the bar rise back to the start under control and repeat.
