Instructions:

  • 1Stand in front of a high pulley, grasping the straight bar with a shoulder width grip
  • 2Pull the bar down until it's approximately level with your chin
  • 3Return the bar slowly to the original position, extending your arms fully
  • 4Keep your body still, only your arms should move
  • 5Repeat the exercise for the desired amount of repetitions

Tips:

  • Keep your core tight during the exercise
  • Focus on a slow, controlled movement rather than speed
  • Try to really focus on the muscle group you're working — the lats
  • Do not use your bodyweight to pull the weight down, this should be an arm movement only
