Instruction
- Adjust the thigh pad to a suitable height and sit down, gripping the bar narrower than shoulder-width. (Close-grip targets the mid and lower back more effectively than the wide-grip lat pulldown.)
- Secure your thighs under the pad, keep your chest lifted, and slowly pull the bar down until it touches the upper part of your chest. (Focus on contracting your lats rather than pulling with your arms.)
- Feel your lats stretch as you slowly extend your arms to return to the starting position.
