Hello dear friends! Today I wanted to talk about such an exercise as It cannot be called an original exercise or a forgotten one.
In principle, it is widespread, but I rarely see anyone doing it. And as experience shows, those exercises that are done little are the most effective. And I cannot pass by such an exercise.
There is another type of deadlift, but it works the gluteal muscles. Girls will really like this exercise, and I like it too. The exercise is called deadlift on straight legs with a barbell.
The exercise, as you already understand, is called pulling the upper block down with straight arms.
For some reason everyone knows it but no one does it. Such a paradox! Let's try to figure out what's what.
The starting position of the legs is hip-width or shoulder-width apart. In general, this position of the pelvis or shoulders is considered the most stable. The more stable we get into the starting position, the more advantageous the position our muscles will be.
The more concentration will go to the target muscles, in this exercise these are the latissimus muscles and teres muscles. Take the top block at shoulder width or a little higher. The grip can be normal or monkey grip, move back half a meter.
How far you should stand from the block is up to you, the blocks in each hall are different. The main thing is that your latissimus muscle is stretched as much as possible.
The knees are slightly bent, the pelvis is slightly back, not to the same extent as bikini girls become, but it should resemble something. The pelvis is slightly back and the latissimus muscle is stretched as much as possible. The hands don’t work here, but the muscles work, this is very important!
Another very important point!
Why do many people start doing this exercise and then quit because they don’t like it? They cannot feel the latissimus muscle in it and feel the triceps.
My friends, this happens when you lower your elbows down and add more with your hand. Make sure that this does not happen and that this does not happen, make sure that your elbows are strictly to the sides. Then the work of the triceps will be minimized. We've sorted out the first phase.
The second phase is when we lower our straight arms in front of us straight to our hips. And we bring the shoulder blades together, then return them to their original position. You don’t just lower the block down, but stretch your arms to feel the latissimus dorsi muscles.
Draw a semicircle with your hands. Try to take in as much space as possible. It is very important to stay at the bottom for a split second so that the latissimus muscles contract better.
The exercise is awesome! Doesn't require much weight, suitable for both men and women. It works the back muscles very well and does not burden the psyche, since a lot of weight is more likely to interfere.
In this exercise, technique and concentration on the working muscles are important. Well, that’s all, dear friends, that I wanted to tell you about this exercise.
And that's all I have for friends! I won’t write a lot of water, there’s nothing to it! Everything is short and to the point! If it's not difficult for you, support the site, share the content with your friends, don't be indifferent, thank you!

About 10 years ago, almost all gyms practiced exclusively basic exercises with dumbbells and barbells. All isolated movements, including those on exercise machines, were ignored.
Today the situation has changed and in the programs of many advanced athletes you can see work on simulators. One such exercise is the straight-arm lat pull-down.
It is worth noting that many people completely forget about it and others like it, and do not focus attention on them.
Isolation exercises are great as “finishers” after basic exercises; they work the muscle well.
Benefits of exercise
- The overhead pull-down is suitable for girls who do not like to work with free weights. In addition, this is a good option for adding variety to the training process and working out your back.
- The Straight Arm Pulldown can be used as a “push” to build strength, endurance, and muscle mass. This is a “thinner” for any training program, including a conservative one.
The straight arm lat pulldown is not a basic exercise, so it should always be a secondary exercise, not a primary one.
In the modern scientific community, it has been proven that isolation exercises allow you to feel the target muscle much better. Working with just one base, not everyone can get the desired results. Alas, the body is designed in such a way that the muscle needs to be constantly shocked. Moreover, this must be done from different angles.
