The lat pulldown builds a wide, strong back by targeting your lats. It also strengthens your biceps and improves your pull-up ability.
1. Sit at the lat pulldown machine with your thighs secured under the pads and grab the bar with a wide overhand grip. 2. Keep your chest up and shoulders back as you pull the bar down toward your upper chest in a smooth, controlled motion. 3. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and focus on pulling with your lat muscles, not just your arms. 4. Slowly return the bar to the starting position with control, feeling a stretch in your lats at the top. 5. Complete your lat pulldown reps with steady breathing - exhale on the pull down, inhale on the way up.
• Keep your torso slightly leaned back throughout the lat pulldown movement to engage your lats properly. • Pull the bar to your upper chest, not behind your neck, to avoid shoulder strain during lat pulldown. • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the bottom of each rep. • Don't use momentum or swing your body - control the weight on both the way down and up.
• Pulling the bar behind your neck during lat pulldown puts unnecessary stress on your shoulders and neck. • Using too much weight and swinging your body instead of controlling the lat pulldown movement with proper form. • Pulling with only your arms instead of engaging your back muscles and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
