Lat Pulldown Machine (Single Arm)
How to do it
- Attach a single handle to the lat pulldown cable and sit with the thighs secured under the pad.
- Grip the handle with one hand and brace the free hand on the thigh or opposite handle for stability.
- Set the torso upright with a slight lean back and brace the core against the offset load.
- Pull the handle down toward the hip on the working side, driving the elbow down and back.
- Squeeze the lat at the bottom, then extend the arm back up under control to a full stretch.
- Complete all reps on one side before switching, keeping the torso from twisting toward the cable.
