Exercise/Body/Strength/Lat Pulldown
Lat Pulldown
- Practice pulling an overhead cable handle toward the chest with a steady supported torso.
Setup
- Secure the thighs under the machine pad and begin with the arms extended and the handle held securely.
Practice
- Pull the handle toward the upper chest, then let the arms extend slowly. Keep the torso mostly upright and pull in front of the head.
Dose and Progression
- Sets, repetitions, resistance, and rest follow the training plan. Establish a repeatable movement with a light load first; add resistance gradually after completing the planned repetitions with consistent control.
Cues and Variations
- Choose a load that permits the whole intended range without swinging backward. A close underhand grip is the variation Huberman demonstrates; a comfortable neutral or overhand grip is another option when the equipment permits it.
