Exercise Description

Underhand-Grip Lat Pulldown targets your back, forearms, and biceps muscles. This workout maximizes the contraction of your lats at the bottom of each rep, which helps build a thicker, stronger back.

    Sit on a bench facing an adjustable rope machine with the sidebar high. With a straight back, grasp the bar with a reverse grip, arms fully extended and shoulder-width apart.
  • Step 2
