Pulley Straight Arm Pull Down

Video coming soon...

The pulley straight arm pull down is a workout that primarily targets the Lats.

The pulley engages the Lats by providing resistance during the downward pulling motion.

Stand facing the pulley machine with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and core engaged. Hold the handle with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
Extend your arms straight out in front of you, keeping them parallel to the floor. This is your starting position.
While keeping your upper body stationary, exhale and pull the handle down towards your thighs by contracting your lats. Keep your elbows slightly bent throughout the movement.
Pause for a brief moment at the bottom of the movement, squeezing your lats.
Inhale and slowly return to the starting position, allowing your arms to fully extend without locking your elbows.

Start with a weight that challenges you but allows for proper form.
Stand facing the pulley machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed throughout the exercise.
Engage your lats by pulling the bar down towards your thighs, focusing on the squeeze.
Control the movement on the way up, resisting the weight to engage your lats even more.
Don’t lean back or use momentum; maintain a stable and controlled motion.
For an extra challenge, pause for a second at the bottom of the movement before returning to the starting position.
