How to do Machine Pulldown
- Sit on the machine and lock your thighs under the pad with feet flat on the floor.
- Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder width with palms facing forward.
- Lean your torso back about 10 to 15 degrees and pull your shoulder blades down to set the lats.
- Pull the bar down to the upper chest by driving the elbows down and back, not by yanking with the arms.
- Pause briefly at the bottom with the bar at your collarbones, squeezing the lats hard.
- Let the bar travel slowly back up over 2 to 3 seconds until your arms are fully extended overhead.
