Single-Arm Supinated Lat Pulldown

Attach a single handle to the high pulley and sit or kneel facing the machine. Grab the handle with one hand in a supinated (palm-up) grip and let your arm extend fully overhead so the lat stretches. Pull the handle down toward the front of your shoulder, driving your elbow down and back while keeping your torso stable. Squeeze your lat hard at the bottom, then control the handle back to full stretch. Complete all reps on one side before switching arms.
