Straight Arm Pulldowns
Test Custom Block: Exercise: Top Block Test = exercise_top_block_test
There's a band for everyone
From beginners to elite athletes,
it's easy to find the perfect band for you.
With arms extended up and hands about shoulder width apart, pull the bar/band down toward your waist.
Tips:
- Keep shoulder blades drawn tightly together, elbows slightly bent in a fixed position and wrists straight.
- Be creative with your positioning- stand on a platform, kneel, sit or bend over at the waist to adjust your height. Lower yourself to raise the resistance.
- Take a small step forward or backward to modify your 'pulldown'.
Variations:
- Explore different grip options.
- Interlock bands at their midpoints when using a high overhead post to lower resistance.
