Cable Straight Arm Pulldowns

[Clubber Lang]

Anyone ever do this exercise for your lats?

What results did you have? Do these make the lats wider or thicker?

I do them often and it seems to get my lats pretty sore. I alternate with lying pullovers. Hits my lats at the bottom / side mostly. It hits the chest a bit too.

if you kneel in front of the cable and start with your arms high up and pull down to your "tit" level, you'll hit your serattus pretty good too.

they do work wonders, i dont do a back workout without them, i usually do them last.

Those are excellent. The lying bent arm version you can work into some heavier weights and that will really get the lats sore too.
