Reverse Lat-Pulldown

Overview

How to do it

1. 1

   Set Up

   Set the seat on the lat pulldown machine so your thighs are locked in under the leg pads. Take the bar with a reverse grip, palms facing you, and place your hands a little wider than shoulder width.

2. 2

   Body Position

   Sit tall with your chest lifted and your back straight. Plant your feet flat on the floor. Keep a secure grip on the bar.

3. 3

   Movement

   Begin with your arms straight overhead. Pull the bar down to your chest by driving your elbows down and back. As you lower the bar, actively squeeze your shoulder blades together. Return the bar to the start under control without allowing the weight stack to touch.

4. 4

   Breathing

   Breathe in as you extend your arms overhead. Breathe out as you pull the bar down.
