How To Do Straight Arm Lat Pulldowns

Описание: The straight arm lat pulldown is a variation of the lat pulldown where the arms remain straight throughout the movement. This shifts the tension away from the biceps and isolates the back muscles more effectively. In particular, the latissimus dorsi, rear deltoids, rhomboids, and lower traps are worked, with the core also engaged to keep the torso still.

How To Do A Straight Arm Lat Pulldown
1. Stand facing a cable machine or lat pulldown station. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart and you should have a slight bend in your knees.
2. Grip the bar with a pronated (overhand grip) and hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Your arms should be extended with a slight bend in the elbows, with hands above your head.
3. Engage your core by tucking the belly button into the spine and squeezing the glutes, then squeeze your shoulder blades together.
4. Use the back muscles to pull the bar down towards the top of your thighs while keeping your arms straight.
5. Pause at the bottom before slowly allowing the bar to return to the top.
