Exercise
Cable bar lateral pulldown
Cable bar lateral pulldown is a moderate exercise. It trains back.
Detailed explanation
Adjust the cable pulley to a high position and attach a straight bar. Sit facing the cable machine with your feet flat on the ground and your knees slightly bent. Grasp the bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Lean back slightly and keep your chest up, maintaining a slight arch in your lower back. Pull the bar down towards your chest, leading with your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly return the bar to the starting position.
