#6 Cable Pullover
The cable pullover, which is also known as the straight-arm pull-down is a simple and a versatile exercise that is ideal for amateurs and experienced trainers. It not only builds the lats and the back but also acts on the chest and the shoulder region.
Instructions:
Step 1: The initial position involves standing and facing the adjustable cable machine. Hold the pull-down bar with a pronated grip and with a distance that is wider than the width of the shoulders. Ensure that the arms are always straight throughout the duration of the exercise.
Step 2: Pull the bar towards the hips in an arc motion with straight arms and hold there for a moment. Move back to the initial position and perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
Important Tip: The exercise could also be performed using a shorter grip or using a different kind of attachment.
