How to do a lat prayer

  1. Attach a rope to a high pulley and kneel facing the stack.
  2. Grip the rope with your arms straight overhead.
  3. Pull the rope down in an arc toward your thighs, keeping your arms straight.
  4. Let your hips sit back slightly as you pull.
  5. Return slowly to overhead.

Form tips

  • Keep a slight, fixed bend in the elbows throughout the movement.
  • Focus on driving the motion from your lats, not your arms.
  • Maintain a stable torso and avoid using momentum.
