Cable Lying Pullover (Rope)
Lie supine on a flat bench with your head close to a low-pulley cable tower, holding a rope attachment overhead with arms nearly straight and a slight fixed elbow bend. Keeping your elbows rigid, pull the rope in an arc from behind your head toward your hips, squeezing your lats at the bottom. Reverse slowly, maintaining constant tension through the full range.
