### LAT PULLDOWN

 

**Step 1:** Sit at the Lat Pulldown station and grab the bar with an overhand grip that’s just beyond shoulder width. Your arms should be completely straight and your torso upright.

**Step 2:** Pull your shoulder blades down and back, and bring the bar to your chest. Pause, then slowly return to the starting position.

**Step 3:** Complete 3-4 sets of 10-12 repetitions on each side.
