Cable Pullover, Straight Arm |
Type: Back |
|
|
|
The straight arm version of the lat pulldown targets all the major muscles in the back as well as the triceps and to a lesser degree the chest. It requires good core strength to perform the exercise correctly, so beginners should use a light weight to start with and focus on technique.

Stand in front of a lat pulldown cable machine with a straight bar.
|
Extend your arms out straight and take hold of the bar with an overhand grip (Palms down).
|
From shoulder level, pull the bar down to the thighs ensuring your arms remain straight through the movement.

Pause for a second and then slowly return to the start position.
