Underhand Lat Pulldown

Lats Machine

Description

The underhand lat pulldown is a compound exercise that primarily targets the lats while also engaging the biceps and middle back. The underhand grip increases biceps involvement and promotes a greater range of motion. This exercise is effective for building back width, pulling strength, and upper-body muscle development.

How To

01 Sit tall and lock your thighs under the pads
02 Take an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart
03 Pull the bar down to your upper chest, elbows driving down and back
04 Squeeze your lats hard at the bottom
05 Control the bar back up, resisting the whole way
