LAT PULL-DOWNS - Sit facing the machine with the legs under the pads, gripping the bar in with a wide overhand grip, inhale and bring the bar down to the sternal notch while puffing out the chest and pulling the elbows back. Exhale at the end of the movement.
- This exercise develops the bulk of the back, it mainly works the upper and central fibres of the latissimus dorsi. It also solicits the trapezius (middle and lower portions), the rhomboids, the biceps brachii, the brachialis and, to a lesser extent, the pectorals.
BACK LAT PULL-DOWNS - Sit facing the machine with the thighs positioned under the pads, grasping the bar with a wide overhand grip, inhale and pull the bar down to the back of the neck, bringing the elbows alongside the body, exhale at the end of the movement.
- This exercise develops the width of the back, it works the latissimus dorsi (mainly the lateral and lower fibres) and the teres major. It also works the forearm flexors (biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis), as well as the rhomboids, and the lower portion of the trapezius when the shoulder blades are pulled together.
- Back lat pull-downs help beginners develop enough strength to move on to chin-ups.
LONG PULL - Sit facing the machine, feet resting on the foot pad and torso bent forward, inhale and bring the handle to the base of the sternum by straightening the back and bringing the elbows back as far as possible. Exhale at the end of the movement and return smoothly to the initial position.
- This exercise works the bulk of the back, it focuses the effort on the latissimus dorsi, teres major , the posterior deltoid, biceps brachii and brachioradialis, and at the end of the movement, when the shoulder blades come together, the trapezius and the rhomboids. While raising the chest, the spinal muscles also contribute. Allowing the weight to pull you on the return movement helps to develop back flexibility.
- Attention: To prevent back injury never round the back when performing seated rows with heavy weights.
