How to do it
- Stand facing a high cable, grip the bar shoulder-width with straight arms, and hinge slightly.
- Keep your arms almost straight with a soft bend in your elbows.
- Sweep the bar down in an arc to your thighs, squeezing your lats.
- Let it rise slowly until your arms are above your head.
Watch out: Bending your elbows so it turns into a triceps pushdown.
