Get Started With Straight Arm Lat Pulldown (Cable)

1
Stand facing a cable machine with a straight bar attachment, and adjust the cable height to be at about chest level.
2
Grasp the bar with a pronated grip (palms facing down), with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
3
Stand up straight and lean back slightly, keeping your chest out and shoulders back.
4
Keep your core engaged and your upper body still, and pull the bar down towards your hips.
5
Keep your arms straight, and focus on using your latissimus dorsi muscles to move the weight.
6
Slowly release the bar back to the starting position, and repeat for desired reps.
