The rope straight arm pull down builds a wide, strong back by hitting your lats hard. It teaches you to pull with your back muscles instead of your arms.
1. Set cable machine high with rope attachment. Stand arm's length away. 2. Grab rope with both hands, palms down. Keep arms straight throughout the rope straight arm pull down. 3. Pull rope down and back toward your hips. Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades. 4. Hold the bottom position for one second. Feel your lats working during the rope straight arm pull down. 5. Slowly return to start position. Keep control on the way up.
• Keep your arms locked straight during the entire rope straight arm pull down movement • Pull with your lats, not your arms. Think about bringing your shoulder blades together • Stand tall with a slight forward lean during the rope straight arm pull down • Control the weight on the way back up. Don't let it snap back
• Bending your arms turns the rope straight arm pull down into a different exercise entirely • Using too much weight and letting momentum take over during the rope straight arm pull down • Leaning too far forward or backward instead of staying in a strong, stable position
