Pulldown (SS-PD)
Exercise
Muscles Used:
Latissimus Dorsi & Biceps
Setup:
Check the weight stack to ensure appropriate resistance. Stand and grip bar in desired
position, then pull down and sit with thighs under pads. Upper body is positioned leaning
slightly forward from the hips, pulling directly over shoulders.
TIP: Attempt to stabilize the body without the use of the thigh pads until necessary.
TIP: The ideal grip position on the handle positions the hands as far out as possible, but still
allows the elbows to contact the sides of the body in the down position during the exercise.
This ensures a full range of motion.
Movement:
With a controlled motion, draw down the handles directly over the shoulders until hands
reach shoulder height, then extend the handles up until arms are fully extended. Return the
handles to the start position and repeat the motion, while maintaining proper body
positioning.
TIP: While performing the exercise think about lowering your elbows towards your lower
back. This will reinforce the correct exercise position and increase the mental concentration
on the Latissimus Dorsi.
