Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown

Main Muscle Worked: Lats
Other Muscles Worked: Biceps, Middle Back
Equipment: Cable
Mechanics Type: Compound

Tips: Grasp the wide bar firmly with an overhand grip. Your hands should be almost twice your shoulder width apart. Pull the bar down on top of your chest, arching your back slightly. Focus on keeping your elbows directly below the bar. Pause briefly with the bar in position right on top of your collarbone. Slowly raise the bar back to the starting position. Do NOT lean back too far and pull the weight down using your body weight!

How many reps do u do ?

[zek]

between 8-12

[ScaredCrows]

no need to do them behind the neck .... trapezium muscles get jammed, anterior shoulder fibre gets too stretched ... the best form is with the bar in front of your neck ...

Exactly. Unless you're a figure competitor, it's really not worth doing risky movements like this.

good form, yet still a dangerous movement for shoulders
