What does a pulldown workout?
by
The lat pulldown works the latissimus dorsi, the largest muscle in the back, as well as your biceps, rear delts, rhomboids and traps. This movement gives you the opportunity to train many muscles at the same time, and develop overall strength in your back and upper body.
Stand up and grab the straight bar with an overhand grip and with hand wider than your shoulder width. Slowly lower yourself into the seat with arms extended above your head. Squeeze your lats and drive your elbows down to pull the bar towards the top of your chest. You may have to lean slightly back as you do this.
