HOW TO DO ROPE STRAIGHT-ARM PULLDOWN
- Attach a rope to the high pulley, step back, and hinge slightly with your arms reaching overhead and elbows softly bent.
- Sweep the rope down toward your thighs by moving the shoulders, separating the ends only if the rope clears your body comfortably.
- Return slowly to an overhead reach while keeping the trunk braced.
- Avoid turning the exercise into a triceps pushdown by repeatedly bending and straightening the elbows, or into a pullover driven by spinal extension.
- The rope permits your hands to finish beside the hips; adjust stance and torso angle so that extra path comes from the shoulders rather than a backward lean.
