How To Do A Wide Grip Lat Pulldown Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
The Wide Grip Lat Pulldown is a great exercise that targets the lat muscles in the back.
To get started:
- Sit down at a lat pulldown machine with your knees just underneath the pads.
- Extend your arms into the air to grab the attached bar with a palms facing forward grip, that is wide than your shoulders.
- Keeping your core tight, chest up, and your torso stationary at about 30 degrees, contract your lat muscles and bring your shoulders and upper arms down, to pull the bar down towards your upper chest.
- Think about moving the bar with your back muscles, not your arms.
- Contract the back muscles for a good squeeze at the bottom of the lift, then under control, reverse the movement back to the starting position, with your arms fully extended and lats fully stretched.
- Repeat.
