Lat pulldown workout
How to do a lat pulldown:
Sit down on the lat pulldown machine and adjust the seat so your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.
Grasp the bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Pull the bar down towards your upper chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the bottom of the movement.
Slowly return the bar to the starting position.
Variations:
Wide grip: This variation targets the lats more directly.
Narrow grip: This variation emphasizes the biceps and forearms.
Underhand grip: This variation targets the biceps and forearms more than the lats.
Neutral grip: This variation is a good option for people with shoulder problems.
Rope attachment: This variation allows for greater range of motion and can help to target the lats more effectively.

Tips:
Use proper form to avoid injury.
