How To Do A Single Arm Lat Pulldown Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
The Single Arm Lat Pulldown is great exercise to target the muscles in the back.
I like to use the single arm variation as an activation set, to really isolate and warm up each side of the lats independently, before hitting them with a heavier compound back exercise.
To get started:
- Attach a single arm handle to a lat pulldown machine.
- Sit down and grab the handle with one hand using an overhand, palms facing away, grip.
- Without moving your torso, initiate the movement by first engaging and contracting your lats, then bending your elbow and pulling it toward the ground.
- Pause to really feel the contraction, then reverse the movement and repeat.
- After you’ve completed your reps with one arm, switch arms and repeat.
