Grasp the bar with an overhand grip, keeping your arms straight and your palms facing down. Engage your lats and pull the bar down towards your thighs, keeping your arms straight throughout the movement. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then slowly return the bar to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
