How to do Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns - Lattissimus
In this lesson you will learn how to do wide grip pulldowns. This is an exercise for the lat muscles (lat = latissimus) and broadens the back muscles. For wide grip pulldowns you need a pulldown machine an wide bow shaped bar (illustration). If you don't have this equipment, you can also do wide grip pullups instead (body weight).
Description: Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns - Lattissimus
* Position your thighs under the legpads to avoid that you lift yourself instead of pulling down the bar. Grab the wide bar both hands (hands appr. two shoulder widths apart - elbows almost extended).
* Pull down the bar and exhale at the same time. Lean back a little bit (but not too far) and also pull your shoulders down, so that your lats are fully contracted when the bar touches your chest.
* Then let the bar move back up until your elbows are almost extended and inhale.
Trainer advice: Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns - Lattissimus
* Don't swing your upper body to create momentum (don't lean back too far).
* Concentrate on pulling down your forearms in one line with the cable (when viewed from the side).
* Seated cable rows are designed to make your back more massive. Wide grip lat pulldowns on the other hand broaden your Back.
