I've never tried this exercise long enough to vouch for it, but one reasonably-clued-up guy at my gym swears by it to help flatten the tum. Don't know what it's called, so I'll describe it instead...

1) Find yourself a cable machine with a single-grip handle, and the pulley height set to just below shoulder level.

2) Stand at right angles to it, holding the handle with both hands. Keep your arms directly in front of your chest, twist your torso about 45 degrees off centre so you face towards the machine.

3) Keeping your arms absolutely locked straight, pull the cable across in front of you - until you get to about 45 degrees off centre facing away from the machine. Don't move your arms from the centre of your chest, just twist at the torso.

4) Finish the set, then repeat for the other side.
