Pulldown (CMPD)
3-7
Muscles Exercised – Latissimus Dorsi and Biceps
Setup:
Check the weight stacks to ensure appropriate resistance. Stand and grip handles, then
pull down and sit with thighs under pads. Upper body is positioned leaning slightly back
from the hips, pulling directly over shoulders.
TIP: Attempt to stabilize the body without the use of the thigh pads until necessary.
Performing the Exercise:
With a controlled motion, draw down the handles directly over the shoulders until hands
reach shoulder height, then extend the handles up until arms are fully extended. Return
the handles to the start position and repeat the motion, while maintaining proper body
positioning.
TIP: While performing the exercise think about lowering your elbows towards your
lower back. This will re-enforce the correct exercise position and increases the
mental concentration on the Latissimus Dorsi.
