Instructions
1. Attach a wide grip handle to a cable pulldown machine and adjust the weight stack to an appropriate load for your fitness level.
2. Sit down on the machine bench and secure your thighs under the pads.
3. Grasp the wide grip handle with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
4. Start with your arms fully extended and your back straight, leaning slightly backward.
5. Pull the handle down towards your chest while keeping your elbows pointed out to the sides. Focus on using your back muscles and avoid moving your torso.
6. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you reach the bottom of the movement, with the bar close to your chest.
7. Slowly release the handle back to the starting position with control, allowing your arms to fully extend and your lats to stretch.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure that the motion is controlled and the muscles are fully engaged throughout the exercise. Avoid using momentum to pull the weight down, as this can reduce muscle engagement and increase the risk of injury. Adjust the weight as needed to ensure proper form throughout the sets.
