Cable Straight Arm Pull Downs - Lats Triceps Exercises tris

http://AskTheTrainer.com

Straight arm pull downs are all about discipline. They are an advanced movement because 95% of people who perform them do them terribly.

To perform straight arm pulldowns correctly you must either keep your arms slightly bent or completely straight and have absolutely no movement at the elbow joint.

At the end of the movement your shoulders must be retracted (squeezed back together) to fully recruit the target muscle (latissimus dorsi)

Straight arm pull downs are a good finisher for lats. Use a light weight and correct form with straight arm pull downs or you are wasting your time.
