About

You pull the handle to the back of your head in this exercise. It is good for your well-toned back!

How to Back Lat Pulldown

Starting Position

1. Please adjust the knee pad height so that it doesn't constrict your knees.

2. Hold the bar slightly wider than shoulder width.

3. Prepare with your shoulder blades squeezed together.

Proper Form

1. Pull your arms back naturally while bringing your shoulder blades together.

2. Lower your forearms vertically.

3. Pull the bar behind your head.

4. Slowly extend your arms and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pulling your arms, and inhale when extending your arms.

Precautions

1. Please be careful as fully extending your shoulders and arms may put strain on your shoulders.

2. Please be careful not to let your trapezius muscles rise.

3. If you feel discomfort in your shoulders, please adjust the width of your grip on the bar.
