Coach's Tips
Please adjust the position of the thigh pad so that the pad can securely hold your leg.
If your elbow falls back, there's a risk of shoulder injury, so please lower it straight down!

How to Lat Pulldown
Starting Position
1. Please adjust the knee pad height so that it does not constrict your knees.
2. Please grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width.
3. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and open your chest.
Proper Form
1. Gather your shoulder blades and naturally pull your arms.
2. Lower your forearms vertically.
3. Pull until the bar touches your collarbone.
4. Slowly raise your arms and return to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when pulling your arms, and inhale when extending your arms.
