How to do it

  1. Sit at the lat pulldown machine with your feet flat on the floor and knees secured under the pads. Attach a wide grip bar to the high pulley and grasp it with both hands using an underhand grip (palms facing back), hands wider than shoulder-width apart.

  2. Pull the bar down towards your upper chest by bending your elbows and bringing them down and back.

  3. Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position with control.

  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

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

  • Keep your elbows close to your body and avoid flaring them out.

  • Exhale as you pull the bar down and inhale as you extend it back up.
