Instructions

  1. Sit on the lat pulldown station and grip the bar with an overhand grip which should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and your arms should be completely straight and your torso vertical.
  2. Pull your shoulder blades down and back and pull the bar towards your chest. Pause and then slowly return to the starting position.

Tips

  • Avoid rounding your upper back. Sit up straight with your chest up and your shoulders back.
  • Do not use a partial range of motion. Pull the bar up to your collarbone.
