Lat pulldown strength equipment

Lat pulldown

— under the term “lat pulldown”, several exercises for muscle groups are combined at once; the specific specificity of performing such exercises depends on the design of the machine. So, one of the most common options is the pull of the block to the chest while sitting, in fact — one of the varieties of wide grip row (see the relevant paragraph). This exercise is aimed mainly at the development of the latissimus dorsi. In addition, it also works out the back of the deltoid muscles, biceps, and partially triceps and forearms. Another option is a pull that is close to vertical traction, but carried out with a reverse grip, by bending the arms at the elbows, and with the direction of movement not strictly vertical, but at an angle. This technique places increased stress on the arms, particularly the biceps, although it also puts a noticeable strain on the back and the stabilizing abdominal muscles.
