How to do Narrow Pulldown
- Attach a close-grip V-handle to the cable and sit on the machine with your thighs locked under the pad.
- Grip the handle with palms facing each other and let your arms extend fully overhead.
- Lean your torso back about 10 to 15 degrees and pull your shoulder blades down to set the lats.
- Pull the handle down to your upper chest by driving the elbows down close to the sides of your body.
- Pause briefly at the bottom with the handle at your collarbones, squeezing the lower lats hard.
- Let the handle travel slowly back overhead over 2 to 3 seconds until your arms are fully extended.
