✅ The PERFECT Lat Pulldown (DO THIS!)

Perfect Your Lat Pulldown Form with These Key Tips:

1️⃣ Secure Your Position – Adjust the thigh pad so it rests firmly on your thighs for optimal stability and leverage.
2️⃣ Go Thumbless – Using a thumbless grip reduces forearm involvement, allowing your lats to do more of the work.
3️⃣ Grip Matters – A grip around 1.5x shoulder width helps maximize lat engagement and pulling power.
4️⃣ Maintain a Neutral Spine – Keep your back straight to prevent unnecessary strain.
5️⃣ Elbow Positioning – Angle your elbows slightly inward rather than flaring them directly to the sides for better lat activation.
6️⃣ Controlled Leaning – As the bar reaches your collarbone, lean slightly back; as the bar moves up, gradually lean forward.
7️⃣ Shoulder Movement – Depress your shoulders when pulling the bar down and elevate them at the top to get a full lat stretch.

Master these cues, and you'll feel the difference in your lat engagement! 🔥💪

Rotating that elbow was the key. Made the discomfort go away and everything was felt in the proper muscles, thank you!!

[thezinquin]

Elbows trying to go inwards is hands down the best advice out there for this movement. It has also improved significantly my pullup strength.

I have hyper mobility so joint alignment is something that doesn’t come naturally to me. The elbow thing made the lat pull-down pain free for the first time ever. Usually my shoulder joints hurt

[alfonsomoreno]

I need to remember the detail of the elbows, thanks a lot

[IMGYU-srlx]

Could you explain the fifth step in more detail? I didn't quite understand it?

[stephanieh]

I recently learned the thumb trick and it helps a lot! Also, never using the wrist!

[kvpsreddy]

Great way is showing . Probably adding notes on techniques will be greatly helpful

[tinalt]
