How to do Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown

Follow each step to master the movement.

Step 1: Position yourself at a lat pulldown machine so that your thighs are under the leg pads.

Step 2: Grasp the bar with your arms fully extended, palms facing forward, and your hands wider than shoulder-width apart.

Step 3: Curve your back approximately 30 degrees and protrude your chest. This is your starting position.

Step 4: Exhale as you lower the bar straight down to your chest.

Step 5: Contract your back muscles for a moment and then inhale as you reverse the motion back to the starting position.

Step 6: Repeat for a complete set.
