This lat pulldown variation uses a supinated grip to involve the biceps more directly while still hitting the lats and mid-back hard. It’s ideal for building pulling strength.
Instructions
- Sit at a lat pulldown machine and adjust the knee pad for stability.
- Grasp the bar with an underhand (palms facing you) grip, slightly narrower than shoulder-width.
- Lean back slightly and stick out your chest to set your starting position.
- Pull the bar down to your upper chest, squeezing your lats at the bottom.
- Slowly return to the top under control. Repeat.
