How to do it

  1. Sit on the seated pulldown machine with your feet flat on the floor. Attach a straight bar to the middle pulley and grasp the bar with both hands using a supine grip (palms facing up), hands shoulder-width apart.

  2. Sit upright with your back straight and arms fully extended towards the machine.

  3. Pull the bar towards your lower abdomen by bending your elbows and bringing them back, keeping your upper arms close to your body.

  4. Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Exhale as you pull the bar towards your body and inhale as you extend it back.

  • Avoid rounding your back; keep your chest lifted throughout the exercise.

  • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the end of the movement.
