One-arm Overhead Cable Pull

ONE-ARM OVERHEAD CABLE PULL

Taken from Dave Draper's book, Brother Iron, Sister Steel

The one-arm overhead cable pull is odd and rarely practiced, yet has a sharpening effect on the linear lat — from insertion A to Z (so much for physiology — ve must ’av imagination). Tough explanation: Grasp the single handle of the overhead cable crossover in your right hand. Position yourself in a wide-footed stance, right side away from the machine. Extend your arm over your head and pull to the right as you stabilize yourself against the resistance. The resistance will travel through your hand and arm and into the entire length of the lat as you tug. Lean and tug, return, lean and tug. This is one of those improvising, adapting, shifting and locating movements that challenge our training talents and create sweet touches to the muscular system. Practice and stick it out. Onlookers will be impressed or think you’re strange. It’s all a matter of expression and the way you chew your gum.
