The pulldown is definitely ranked up there as one of the most common exercises performed in the gym by both beginners and avid gym goers.

These are the 3 most common mistakes I see in the gym and with beginner clients I work with and how to go about fixing them!

Mistake # 1

Pulling the bar straight down in front of you! When you do this, you’ll shift all of the tension off the back and move it towards your shoulders and triceps turning it into a pushdown! Instead what you want to do instead is think about pulling the bar back and down into your chest.

Mistake # 2

Grip width! The two most common mistakes are 1. gripping too close (closer than 1x shoulder width) which will allow the forearms to takeover!

2. Gripping too wide (wider than 1.5x shoulder width) which will decrease range of motion and put pressure on the shoulders for many people

To fix this, all you need to do is put your arms up directly above shoulder width and then move them slightly outside this (1.5x shoulder width) which will be the sweet spot for most people!

Mistake # 3

Excessive momentum! I honestly don’t have an issue with a little controlled momentum, the issue just becomes a problem when the movement starts to look like what I demonstrated in the video.

The way I always explain it to clients is just move WITH the cable, being in control the entire time. I personally like to come forward at the top for a full stretch and then lean back slightly at the bottom for a nice contraction (moving WITH the cable the whole time, not letting it control me)
