I’ve seen so many people knock the traditional lat pulldown online 🤷🏻🤦🏻 ….yes there’s loads of different ways of hitting the lats,, maybe a lot better ways but- the lat pulldown machine should be part of your program.
How can the old school bodybuilders use this as a staple for lat growth and now influencers are trying to bash it?? It’s a move that targets the lats, do it properly do it with control and do it often you’ll grow your lats!!
The lat pulldown, a staple in strength training, primarily targets the latissimus dorsi muscles in the back, contributing to upper body strength and a V-shaped torso.
This exercise, typically performed on a cable machine with a wide bar attachment, involves pulling the bar down towards the chest while seated, engaging the shoulders, biceps, and even the core for stability. Its popularity stems from its effectiveness in building back width and improving overall posture.
Moreover, it’s highly adaptable, allowing variations in grip and angle to target different muscle groups, making it suitable for a range of fitness levels and goals.
Whether integrated into a bodybuilding routine or a general fitness program, the lat pulldown is a fundamental exercise for developing back strength and muscular balance.
