Standing cable pull-over


Target: Lats, shoulders, back

Form tips:

  • Chest up and shoulders down, with slight bends in your knees and hips.
  • Keep your core tight as you pull the cable down.
  • Picture yourself squeezing your upper arms into your armpits as you pull down.
  • Control the cable's return to the top, keeping it slow.
  • You can let the cable's return pull your arms into a stretch, but not so far it feels uncomfortable for your shoulders.

Modification – Seated banded lat pulldown:

  • Go back to using a band if you're not properly engaging your lats with the cable.
