Close-Grip Lat Pulldowns


For close-grip lat pulldowns, sit facing the machine with your legs positioned under the support pads. Grab the handles with your palms facing each other and pull your arms down. Push your chest up and out while arching your lower back as you pull down.


Bring your hands down towards your chest while squeezing your shoulder blades together, then return to the starting position slowly while resisting the pull of gravity on the weights.

Tips

* This variation mainly works the central fibers of the latissimus dorsi and the teres major. By squeezing the shoulder blades at the end of the movement, the lower portion of the trapezius as well as the posterior deltoid will be worked as well.
