V bar pulldown
Step 1
Connect the close-grip attachment to the lat pulldown. Place both hands on the close-grip attachment with a neutral grip (palms facing inwards). Sit down on the bench directly below the attachment and plant both feet on the floor. Adjust the leg pads so that they are pressing firmly, but comfortably, on your upper legs. This is your starting position.
Step 2
Inhale. Exhale. Lean back slightly from your hips, bend your elbows and pull the attachment down towards your chest until it is just below chin height and your elbows are in close contact with the sides of your body. You should feel a squeeze between your shoulder blades.
Step 3
Inhale. Slowly lean forward and extend your elbows to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
