cable straight arm pulldown (with rope)

Attach a rope to the cable machine at the highest setting. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart. Grasp the rope with both hands, palms facing down. Extend your arms fully in front of you, keeping your elbows slightly bent. Engage your lats and slowly pull the rope down towards your thighs, keeping your arms straight. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then slowly release the tension and return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
