Pulldown (OP-PD)
- Muscles Used:
- Latissimus Dorsi and Biceps
- Setup:
- Check the weight stack to ensure appropriate resistance. Stand and grip the bar in the desired position, then pull down and sit with thighs under the pads. Position upper body by leaning slightly forward from the hips and pulling directly over the shoulders.
- Movement:
- With a controlled motion, pull down the handles directly over the shoulders until
hands reach shoulder height. Maintain control while the handles return to the start
position and repeat the motion while maintaining proper body positioning.
Tip: While performing the exercise, keep the back straight and lower elbows towards lower back to reinforce the correct exercise position.
