Lat Pulldown
Also called: cable pulldown, wide-grip pulldown
No demo clip here — the movement is coached inside the session itself. Every workout in the library is a follow-along.
Coaching cues
- hands just outside shoulders, thighs locked under the pad
- pull the bar to your collarbones
- drive the elbows down toward your back pockets
- control the bar all the way up
Common mistakes
- leaning far back and rowing the bar down
- pulling behind the neck
- letting the stack slam and jerk the arms up
- using the arms only and never depressing the shoulder blades
Take care with: shoulder. Members who list these injuries never see this exercise in a program.
Easier: Seated Band Row
Harder: Pull-Up, Band-Assisted Pull-Up
