How to Close Mag Grip Lat Pulldown

Starting Position

1. Sit on the lat pulldown machine and adjust the thigh pads to secure your legs.

2. Grasp the close grip handles with both hands and fully extend your arms.

3. Lean your upper body slightly back and puff out your chest.

Proper Form

1. Pull your elbows to the side and down, not in front of your body, while drawing the handle down towards your chest.

2. Focus on the feeling of your lat muscles tightening as you pull down to the bottom.

3. Do not excessively arch your upper body; maintain a consistent angle.

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

Breathing Technique

Exhale as you pull the handle down, and inhale as you return to the starting position with your arms extended.

Precautions

1. Be careful not to pull back with a rebound by arching your back.

2. Don't just pull with your arms; focus on contracting your lats under your armpits.

3. Hold the handle comfortably to avoid bending your wrists.
