STRICT FORM ... FEEL THE MUSCLE
[ ** BACK TO EXERCISE PAGE ** ]

< STRAIGHT ARM PULLDOWNS

Start Position: Stand and face the weight stack of a cable crossover machine. Grasp the bar with a slightly wider than shoulder width grip. Keep knees bent, lean over just slightly, and moderately arch your back. Your arms should be nearly straight, but elbows should not be locked. As always, abs tight.

MidPoint: Keeping arms straight, bring the bar down in an arc until it nearly touches your upper thighs. You should really feel it in your lats.

Finish Position: Reverse the arc and slowly return to the starting position until you feel a good stretch. 10-12 reps for each set.
