Step-by-Step Instructions
Set-Up:
– Attach a straight bar or rope to the high pulley of a cable machine.
– Stand facing the machine with feet hip-width apart, soft knees, and a slight forward lean from your hips.
– Grip the bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart, arms fully extended in front of you.
Execution:
– With arms straight (but elbows not locked), pull the bar down toward your thighs in a sweeping arc, focusing on driving through your lats.
– Squeeze your lats and keep your shoulders down away from your ears as you finish the movement.
– Slowly return the bar to the starting position with control, maintaining tension in your lats.
Tips for Proper Form:
– Keep your core braced and avoid arching your lower back.
– Do not bend your elbows—keep arms straight to isolate the lats.
– Focus on shoulder movement, not arm pulling.
Straight Arm Lat Pulldown Key Benefits
– Strengthens and isolates the lats for improved width and back development.
– Reinforces proper scapular control and shoulder extension for pull-ups and rows.
– Great for mind-muscle connection work in back training.
