Machine Lat Pulldown — back compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Machine Lat Pulldown

Compound · Weight × reps

Avoid pulling behind the neck, shrugging, or turning the repetition into a large torso swing. Return under control to a comfortable overhead reach. The machine pulldown trains the latissimus and other upper-back muscles with assistance from the biceps, brachialis, forearms, and shoulders. Choose a grip and range that fit the machine and your joints, and do not let the stack lift you from the seat.

HOW TO DO MACHINE LAT PULLDOWN

  1. Adjust the thigh pad so the legs are secure and take the machine’s intended overhand, neutral, or independent handles.
  2. Sit tall with a slight natural lean, brace, and pull the elbows down toward the ribs until the handles reach the upper chest or their designed endpoint.
