The "J" rope pull-in combines a stiff-arm pull-down with a modified seated row to make for a solid exercise. The start and finish position allow full lat activation with every rep.
While kneeling with arms stretched overhead, set your shoulders down, and start the movement like a stiff-arm pull-down with your arms straight, elbows flared, and hands apart. Smoothly transition with an arcing motion into a row movement (to make a letter "J" pattern) and finish with hands at the mid abs.
