How to do it

  1. 1

    Cable Straight Arm Pulldown is a variation of the classic lat-pulldown. By keeping your arms straight, you limit the mid-back and biceps from taking over, which lets you target the lat muscles more directly.

  2. 2

    A strong back helps keep the spinal column properly aligned and supports everyday tasks with less risk of injury. Along with strengthening the back, this exercise also works the triceps and shoulders secondarily.
