For back days, what do you think about strait arm pull downs? I use what I call skier pull downs where I stand below a high pulley, use a rope attachment, step back so my arms are fully extended, and pull the weight down with more arms straight throughout the movement. I tend to really feel my lats during these, but how effective do you think they are?
I love these! But you can't go too heavy because the key (for me) is to really flex the lats through the full RoM with a squeeze at the bottom. I love the burn and pump! Oh, I do use a straight bar instead of the rope. I've tried using the rope but I didn't feel like I could focus on the lats as well because I had to "hang on" to something.
