Lat pulldowns are essential for
upper body strength and also give your that V-shape back, although
there are two types of lat pull downs the behind the neck version
can cause some neck injury especially when lifting the heavier of
weights.
Here's how to perform the correct
front lat pull down
1. Grab the bar with palms facing out, while also keeping your grip
on the bar slightly open wider than shoulder width.
2. Sit on the seat with your knees tightly fitted under the pads.
Keep in mind to adjust the pads to make sure your knees are tightly
fit under but at the same time comfortable
3. Lean back slightly, keep in mind do not come out of your seat
on the way up.
4. Now proceed to pull the bar to your collar bone. Keep in mind
to not swing your body back and forth to try to lift the weight.
5. Now when pulling down bring the elbows to your sides hold for
a second then proceed to slowly bring the bar back up, also do not
slouch when your bringing the weight back down.
