Lat Pulldown Wide Grip Front Instructions

  1. Sit on the lat pulldown machine with your back straight and your feet flat on the floor.

  3. Lean back slightly and pull the bar down towards your chest, while keeping your elbows pointed down and your back straight.
  4. Pause for a moment when the bar is close to your chest, and squeeze your shoulder blades together.
  5. Slowly release the bar back to the starting position, with your arms fully extended and your shoulders relaxed.

Lat Pulldown Wide Grip Front Tips

  1. Start with a weight you can comfortably handle, focusing on proper form rather than heavy resistance.
  2. Grip the bar wider than shoulder-width apart, ensuring your palms face away from you.
  3. Keep your chest lifted and your back straight throughout the entire movement.
  4. Initiate the exercise by squeezing your shoulder blades together and pulling the bar down towards your chest.
  5. Focus on engaging your lats by imagining you are pulling your elbows down and back, rather than using your arms.
  6. As you lower the bar back up, control the movement and avoid letting it jerk or swing.
  7. Remember to breathe steadily throughout the exercise, exhaling as you pull the bar down and inhaling as you return to the starting position.
