Standing Rope J Pulldowns
Like reverse grip pulldowns the straight arm version targets the lower lats.
Standing rope j pulldowns. Standing lat pulldown. Stand facing a cable stack with a straight bar attached to the high pulley. In this case you perform the movement standing and keep your elbows locked out the entire time. This is one of my favorite exercises that targets the upper middle and lower back muscles if done with proper form.
Grasp the bar with a shoulder width grip and step back a foot or two so the weight doesn t rest on the stack. The straight arm rope pull down is a variation of the straight arm lat pull down performed using a cable stack machine and a rope grip. Begin with your arms extended with a slight. The straight arm pulldown trains the lats through a long range of motion and is helpful for people who have trouble feeling their backs work on conventional pulldown exercises.
It can either be performed in an athletic upright stance or slightly bent over. I use a rope for pull downs however if. Great upper back lat exercise.
