Exercise Profile

Pulley Pull Down Leaning Overview

The pulley pull down leaning workout primarily targets the Lats, which are the largest muscles in the back.

In this workout, the pulley is employed by attaching a bar or handle to the cable and adjusting the weight.

By pulling the bar down towards the chest while leaning back slightly, the Lats are effectively engaged and strengthened.
