How To Do A Lat Pulldown

The lat pulldown is a compound exercise that strengthens the back, targeting the latissimus dorsi and biceps, with further engagement from the rear delts, rhomboids and traps. Useful for both strength and hypertrophy goals, this is one of the best pulling exercises to work the back. How To Do Lat Pulldowns 1. Take a seat on the machine and adjust the pads so they sit tightly against your thighs. 2. Stand up to grip the bar with an overhand grip, hands just outside of shoulder width distance. 3. Hinge forward by pushing your hips back until your torso is at a 45-degree angle to your thighs. 4. Sit down on the bench, lean slightly back, and then pull the bar towards your upper chest by driving your elbows down and back. 5. Stop when the bar passes below chin height and reverse the movement by slowly extending the arms, allowing the cable to pull the bar back up.
