Straight Arm Pulldowns | How to Perform Straight Arm Pulldowns | Powerlift Pro App

The straight arm pulldown is an exercise that targets the lats, triceps, and shoulders. Here’s how to perform it:

1. Stand facing a high pulley machine with a straight bar attachment.
2. Grasp the bar with an overhand grip, palms facing down, and hands shoulder-width apart.
3. With your arms straight, bring the bar down to your thighs, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
4. Slowly raise the bar back up to the starting position, keeping your arms straight and your back straight.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:

Avoid using momentum to bring the bar down. Instead, focus on using your lats to pull the weight down and control the movement.

Keep your elbows locked and your arms straight throughout the exercise to emphasize the work on your lats and triceps.

Keep your shoulders down and back throughout the exercise to avoid shrugging your shoulders up towards your ears.

Use a weight that allows you to maintain proper form and control throughout the exercise.
