Get a great shaped back with the Lateral Pulldown

Lateral Pulldown

Attach a long bar to the lat pulldown machine and adjust the seat so that your thighs are touching the thigh pad when seated. Grasp the bar with an overhead grip that is slightly wider than shoulder width. Sit with your feet flat on the floor, knees bent and arms straight.

Lean back slightly from your hips so that the bar is above your chest. Contract your abs and use your back muscles to pull your elbows down and in towards the waist. Exhale as you do this and use a slow and controlled movement. Bring the bar to your chest and straighten your arms to the starting position while inhaling. Repeat.

This exercise strengthens the middle back and rear shoulders.
