CLOSE- OR MEDIUMGRIP PULLDOWNS

PURPOSE OF EXERCISE: To work the lats,
especially the lower lat area.
Again, working with an overhead
cable and weight stack allows you to do
the chinning movement with less than
body weight.
EXECUTION: (1) Grasp the handles or a
bar using a narrow- or medium-close
grip and pull down to your upper chest.
Don’t sway backward, but try to
concentrate on using the lats to do the
movement. (2) Draw the shoulders down
and back and stick the chest out. Let the
handles go upward again until your lats
are fully stretched out.
