Lat Pull Downs
Prime movers: Lats, biceps, shoulders.
Starting Position:
Sit at a lat pull down machine.
Keep your back straight and lean backward a few inches with your feet resting on the floor.
Grab the bar with both hands, using an overhand grip.
Lift:
a. Keeping your body stationary and bending at the elbows, pull the bar down in front of your neck, squeezing your shoulder blades together until the bar grazes your chest.
b. Let the bar come to a brief, complete stop before slowly and controllably guiding it back up to its original starting position, the same way you pulled it down.
Tip: This exercise can also be performed with an underhand grip.
The photos above and the back exercise were taken from books in Rob Price’s “The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports” series which are available at www.sportsworkout.com and bookstores nationwide.
