Lat Pulldown (Machine)
Also called Lat Pulldown (Gym Machine), Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown (Machine)
How to do it
Secure your thighs under the pad and take a wide overhand grip on the machine bar. Pull the bar toward your upper chest with only a slight torso lean, pause, then let it rise slowly to a full overhead stretch without swinging.
Setup
Thighs locked under the pad, hands on the wide grips, chest tall with a slight lean back and shoulders set down.
Where you should feel it
Down the outside of the back, elbows driving toward the ribs.
When to use it
Fixed-path vertical pull, easy to load and control. A good high-volume back builder in the 8-12 range.
