Benefits
Straight Arm Pulldown With Bands Benefits
The mind-muscle connection is improved. Lifters who can't feel their lats working on typical pulldown workouts will benefit from the straight-arm pulldown. The mid-back and biceps won't take over the movement if you keep your arms straight, so you can focus more directly on the lat muscles you're aiming to train.
