PRO 2 LAT PULLDOWN (PSPD)

Muscles Exercised – Latissimus Dorsi and Biceps

Setup:

Sit and adjust the thigh pads to secure the legs in position. Check the weight stack

to ensure appropriate resistance. Stand and grip bar in desired position, then pull

down and sit with thighs under pads. Body is positioned leaning back slightly from

the hips with chest-up.

TIP: Attempt to stabilize the body without the use of the thigh pads until necessary.

TIP: The ideal grip position on the bar positions the hands as far out as possible,

but still allows the elbows to contact the sides of the body in the down position

during the exercise. This ensures a full range of motion.

Performing the Exercise:

With a controlled motion, draw down the bar in front of the chest till it nearly makes

contact with the chest, then extend the handles out till arms are fully extended.

Return the handles to the start position and repeat the motion, while maintaining

proper body positioning.

TIP: While performing the exercise think about lifting the chest to the bar as

opposed to pulling the bar down. This will re-enforce the correct exercise position

and increases the mental concentration on the Latissimus Dorsi.
