PRO BODY CHEAT SHEET

Lat Pulldowns
Why?
Lat pulldowns are the absolute best exercise to
build a strong, sexy back. You can mix things up
from time to time, but don’t ever neglect one of the
ultimate body shapers.
Execution
1. Take an overhand grip on the bar with hands 6
inches wider than shoulder width.
2. Pull the bar down to the upper chest squeezing
your lats.
3. Return the bar to the start position overhead.
Tips
1. Hand spacing matters. As your hands get
wider the focus shifts to the outermost section
of the lats under the arm pit. This portion of the
muscle creates width across your back
2. Watch your range of motion. To maximize
range of motion, stretch the lats at the top position
and squeeze the lats at the bottom by pulling the
elbows down and back as far as possible.
3. Spotters matter – Doing lat pulldowns with a
partner can not only keep your form proper but can
help you push through plateaus.
