How to Perform Cable Lat Pulldown

Sit at a lat pulldown machine and secure your thighs under the support pads. Grab the bar with a wide overhand grip and sit upright with your chest lifted and arms fully extended overhead. Pull the bar down toward your upper chest by driving your elbows downward and slightly backward while squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, then slowly extend your arms to return the bar to the starting position while maintaining control.
