Narrow Grip Lat Pulldown

How to do it

  1. Sit at the pulldown station and lock the thighs under the pad, gripping a narrow attachment with hands close together.
  2. Keep the chest lifted and lean back only slightly as you set the starting position at full arm extension.
  3. Pull the handle down toward the chest by driving the elbows straight down past the ribs.
  4. Focus on drawing the shoulder blades down and together as the handle reaches the lower chest.
  5. Control the release back up to a full stretch rather than letting the weight stack snap upward.
  6. Keep a steady breathing pattern, exhaling on the pull and inhaling on the return.
