Exercise: Wide grip lat pulldown
Muscles Exercised: Lats, Middle Back, Biceps, Forearms, Grip
Description: Place your legs under the kneepads of the pulldown machine, keeping your feet flat on the floor or footrest. Grasp the bar firmly with an overhand grip, keeping your hands approximately twice your shoulder width apart. Pull the bar down to your chest, arching your back slightly and keeping your elbows directly below the bar. For maximum stimulation of the lats and back muscles, imagine you are trying to squeeze something between your shoulder blades. Pause briefly with the bar in position at the height of your collarbone. Slowly raise the bar back to the starting position. Do not use your body weight to pull the bar down.
