Straight Arm Lat Pull Down.

Make every rep count.

1. 01

   Set a cable pulley high and clip on a wide-grip handle/bar.

2. 02

   Stand tall facing the stack, feet about hip-width. Grab the handle overhand (palms down) around shoulder width.

3. 03

   Step back to create tension and hinge forward slightly at the hips. Brace your core, keep your chest up, and let your arms reach forward with a small bend in the elbows (don’t lock them out or turn it into a triceps move).

4. 04

   Start the rep by pulling your shoulder blades down and back (avoid shrugging), then drive your straight arms down by extending at the shoulders.

5. 05

   Pull the handle down to your upper thighs, squeezing your lats at the bottom without leaning back or swinging.

6. 06

   Control the return as the handle rises back to the start—keep tension and the same torso angle throughout.

7. 07

   Repeat for the prescribed reps.
