Lat Pulldown

Initiate and control the movement by activating your lats and pulling the bar down at a SLIGHT angle away from the machine.

A correct body position mitigates potential injuries and helps add width to your mid-back.

Your mid-back should not be overly extended. Yes, you want a slight thoracic extension but avoid overly arching your back.

The single-arm variation allows you to fully activate and feel your lat engaged throughout the pulldown.

This pulldown variation is a great assistance exercise to build your chin-up strength.

Don't let your chest cave inward as you fatigue. Maintain the strong posture you started with.

Maximizing this exercise is all about body position. If your posture is faulty, you will not activate the proper musculature.

Properly position your body to make the Chin-up a total body exercise and great core movement.

Few things are cooler than a big set of strict pull-ups.
