Lat Pulldown
LIFT: LAT PULLDOWN
FOCUS / PURPOSE: LATS (UPPER BACK), SHOULDERS
EQUIPMENT: LAT PULLDOWN MACHINE
TECHNIQUE
1. The athlete will pull down the bar while bringing it down just below the chin.
2. He will lock his arms out while easing the bar back to its initial start position.
3. The athlete needs to be sure to keep his butt on the bench. By doing so, he isolates the lift’s focused area and does not use momentum and body weight to perform the exercise.
COACHING POINTS
1. Be sure not to use momentum when pulling the bar down – be smooth with your motion.
LAT PULLDOWN WORKOUT
1. Base Phase – 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
