00:00Straight arm pushdowns are going to be performed on a cable machine with a straight bar.
00:04We are working your upper back muscles here.
00:07To perform this movement, I'm going to put my hands on the bar, thumb is over.
00:14I'm going to take a few steps back, okay?
00:17Now my feet are wider than hip-width apart, and from here I'm going to sit back into my heels,
00:24and I'm going to arch my lower back and roll my shoulders back.
00:28So my shoulder blades are pinned back.
00:30From here, nothing on my body is going to move except for my arms.
00:35My arms are dead straight, my elbows are locked, and I'm pushing the bar down towards me, holding,
00:43and then I'm letting it go all the way up.
00:48Pushing it and holding, all the way up.
00:53Now you're going to also feel this in your triceps, that is totally fine.
00:56Down, and up.
01:03As it gets hard, people like to bend your elbows.
01:05You're not going to do that.
01:07That's not correct.
01:10This is correct.
01:11Can I bear a bar?
01:12Yes, you can, my love.
01:13Okay.
01:14Can I bear a bar?
01:15Okay.
