Do the straight arm
pull down,
which approximates the feel of a straight arm dumbbell pull-over across
a flat bench, to really target the lower-lat tie-in. A lot of
bodybuilders use too much weight and, as a result, they can't do it with
proper form. Bad form does not translate to good results. Follow the
following steps to use straight arm pull down as a great exercise to
train your back muscle:
-
On a cable
pull-down or triceps pressdown apparatus, place your hands about 12
inches apart on a straight bar.
-
Maintain a slight
bend in your knees and lean forward about 10-30 degrees at the
waist.
-
Extend your arms
out in front of you. The angle in your elbows won't change from this
position.
-
Establishing the
mind-muscle link, press the bar down until your arms are by your
sides. Use a controlled movement and squeeze the lats at the point
of peak contraction.
-
Allow the bar to
slowly rise up higher than your head at the top of the movement when
doing the straight arm pull down workout .
