How to perform

§ 02 · Steps
  1. 01

    Sit at the plate-loaded lat pulldown machine with your thighs secured under the pads and your chest up.

  2. 02

    Grip the handles with a neutral or slightly overhand grip, lightly brace your core, and keep your shoulders down.

  3. 03

    Pull the handles down along the curved path to shoulder level, leading with your elbows and drawing your shoulder blades down and together.

  4. 04

    Pause briefly at the bottom and firmly squeeze your lats without leaning back or jerking the weight.

  5. 05

    Return the handles to the top under control, allowing your shoulder blades to rise naturally while keeping your chest open and the movement symmetrical.

Keep your wrists and forearms aligned and drive your elbows down toward your sides, not back. Choose a load that lets you keep the movement controlled without swinging your body.
