Lat Pulldown Machine

1. Find a Lat Pulldown machine and start with your knees under the pads and hands holding the handles above you.
2. Using your Lats (back muscles) pull the handles down to about collar bone height.
3. Extend your arms slowly to return to the starting position.
*Note: There are many different types of Lat Pulldown Machines. This is a "Hoist" Machine which uses part of your body weight as resistance, which is why the seat is moving. The general movement of the lat pulldown is the same on all stationary machines.
- Drive your elbows down and activate your back
- Squeeze your back muscles at the bottom of the movement.
- Avoid leaning back and/or using momentum to pull the bar down.
