Lat PulldownsThe Lat Pulldown is very similar to doing Chins except these can be done with much lighter weight than the whole body, thus they are great for beginners who can work up to their body weight before attempting Chin ups. Lat pulldowns stress the large Latissimus dorsi muscles of the upper back. and are a great back muscle builder, they give that distinct appearance of width to the back musculature. There is secondary stress to the posterior deltoid and biceps. They also stress the forearm flexor muscles of the arms and as such help develop a strong hand grip. Lat pulldowns can be done by pulling the bar towards the front or the back of the neck. The behind-the-neck pulldowns will direct the stress more on the upper lat muscles.
How to perform Lat Pulldowns: Grasp the bar on the lat machine with an overhand grip and position the hands about two and a half feet apart. Wedge your knees beneath the restraining bar below the machine to keep your body from moving during the exercise. Let your arms fully extend so that you feel a slight pull in the lat muscles of the back. Keeping your back arched during the exercise, slowly pull the bar downwards until it touches your upper chest area. Slowly return the bar back to the starting position in a controlled manner. Repeat the movement for your required number of repetitions. Lat Pull downs Start:

Breathing technique for the Lat Pulldowns. Exhale as the bar is pulled downwards, inhale as the bar is raised back. Lat Pulldown exercise tips:
Try using many various width of grip, from as
close as two inches apart to as much as three feet apart. Even try using an
underhand grip from time to time, although you may find this way seems to
stress the biceps a lot more. I believe the best time to use an underhand
grip is when doing narrow grip lat pulldowns. Every variation of handle or
pulling angle that you employ in lat pulldowns can help to build more
complete Latissimus dorsi muscles.
