Single-Arm Cable Pulldown

Form Cues

• Attach a D-handle to a high cable pulley.

• Kneel or stand beneath the pulley with the handle in one hand, arm fully extended overhead.

• Grip with a neutral or supinated grip — whichever feels most natural.

• Pull the handle down and toward the side of your chest, driving your elbow down and back.

• Squeeze the lat hard at the bottom and feel the full contraction on the working side.

• Control the return, letting the arm extend fully overhead with a stretch on the lat.

• Keep your torso stable and avoid twisting toward the working arm.

• Complete all reps on one side before switching.
