How to do it
Execution:
  1. 1
    Stand facing the high pulley and grip the straight bar with a close overhand grip (palms down).
  2. 2
    Step back and hinge slightly forward, keeping your arms extended.
  3. 3
    Brace your core and, without bending the elbows, pull the bar toward your thighs using the lats.
  4. 4
    Return slowly, letting the arms rise without losing tension in the back.
Tip: since there's no elbow flexion, all the focus is on the lats — use moderate loads.
