Straight Arm Pulldown

Straight Arm Pulldown: Begin by grasping a straight bar attached to a high pulley apparatus with an overhand grip. Maintain a slight bend to your elbows and bring the bar to eye level. Keeping a forward tilt to your upper body, slowly pull the bar down in a semicircular arc until it touches your upper thighs. Contract your lats and then reverse direction, allowing the bar to return to the start position.
