Straight-arm Pull-downs

Target Muscles

Lattisimus dorsi, Trapezius, Rhomboids, teres major and minor.

Starting Position

  • Stand in front of a lat pull-down machine.
  • Hold the bar with your arms extended, palms facing downwards.
  • Pull down the bar to shoulder level.

The Movement

  • Keeping your arms extended, pull the bar down until it just touches your upper thighs.
  • Hold for a count of two; then slowly return
    the bar to the starting position.

Tips

  • Keep your wrists straight throughout the movement.
  • Allow a very slight bend in the elbows­
    they should not be locked.
  • Keep your body still and upright throughout the movement - you will need! to use your abdominal muscles to stabilise your torso.
