Cable Lat Pulldown: Tips for Wide Lats

Instructions:

    1. Sit on the cable pulldown machine with your thighs secured under the pads.
    2. Grasp the bar with a wide overhand grip, palms facing forward.
    3. Lean back slightly, keeping your chest up and core engaged.
    4. Pull the bar down to your upper chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
    5. Slowly return the bar to the starting position, fully extending your arms.

Tips:

  • Avoid using momentum; focus on controlled movements.
  • Keep your elbows moving straight down, not flaring out.
  • Do not lean back excessively; a slight tilt is enough.
  • Engage your lats throughout the exercise, not just your arms.
  • Perform 3–4 sets of 10–12 reps for balanced strength
