Cable One Arm Straight Arm Pulldown

Stand beside a high pulley and reach one arm up to hold the handle.

Keep your elbow angle nearly constant as you pull the handle toward the same-side thigh.

Pause briefly at the bottom, then slowly return through a comfortable shoulder range.

This movement primarily works your lats. Focus on controlling the motion through these muscles.

Avoid flaring your ribs or using torso momentum to pull the handle.

Exhale as you pull and inhale as you return.

Unlike a one-arm lat pulldown with a large elbow bend, move from the shoulder with a long arm.
