Cable Pullover

Exercise:
Cable Pullover
Target Muscle:
Back (Lats)
Equipment:
Cable Machine, Straight-Bar Attachment
Execution:
Place a straight-bar attachment as high up on a cable stand as possible.

Grab the attachment using an overhand grip, hands spaced shoulder-width apart, maintaining a roughly 30 degree bend in your elbows.

Keep a solid stance with your feet at about shoulder width apart, either directly side by side or with one foot slightly in front of the other.

With your lower back slightly arched, chest puffed out and torso leaning forward, pull the cable attachment down in a circular motion until your arms are at your sides and you feel a strong contraction in your lats.

Raise the bar back up under control until it is directly overhead and you feel a good stretch in your lats before pulling the weight back down again.

Tips:
- In order to maximize the tension on your lats rather than your biceps and shoulders, focus on pulling the bar down using your elbows rather than your hands. Imagine that your hands and forearms don’t even exist, and just place 100% of your focus on driving the bar down using your elbows.
