STRAIGHT ARM PULL DOWN

This is a strengthening exercise for the shoulder extensors and can be completed with an exercise band instead of a cable pulley system. Grab the bar/band with both hands placed wider than shoulder distance apart. Hinge forwards so that your hands grip the bar/band above your head. Bend at the hips and knees while keeping your spine neutral. Pull the bar/band down to mid thigh level and slowly return to starting position to complete a single repetition.
