Straight-Arm Lat Pulldowns

Stand facing the Machine with your feet slightly apart. Take an overhand grip on the bar with your arms straight. Your hands should be about shoulder width apart.

1. Keep your back straight and inhale. Your abdominal muscles should be motionless.

2. Keeping your arms straight, press/pull the bar down until it touches your upper thighs. Make sure you keep your elbows fully extended.

3. Exhale while you complete the movement. Return to starting position and begin next repetition.

Notes: This exercise works the lats and strengthens the teres major. It also works the triceps long head.
