[@xoiheartyou]

Just a possible suggestion: but with these kinds of videos is it possible for you to also include you getting onto the machine and getting into position as well? And perhaps adjustment points to get the machine to fit to your body? I know there's already a video on this but it doesn't cover all machines

[@naomikong]

annary Thanks for the suggestion! The video that I have linked for how to use gym equipment does cover the lat Pulldown machine. 💕

Hi thank you for video. Can you do a video on underhanded lat pull down?

[@rosemarierodriguez1309]

Hi NK just started working out in the gym, I wanted to know if I'm doing it wrong, or is this another exercise that is ok. When I use this machine I sit in the right position, feet planted down and pull the bar down behind my upper back. Is this ok?

[@brikratochvil1366]

i was doing the same thing!

[@shaqvonamcconn8874]

I did this today without the video omg I did it alllllll wrong 😫😫😫😫🤣 at least I try

[@lianrosebaguio6241]

thank you... big help

[@naomikong]

lian rose baguio Happy to help! ☺️

[@KokoKouture78]

So what my butt comes off the seat or stay on?

[@heyswabs4311]

So when you pull the bar down, does it have to touch your chest before it comes back up?

[@naomikong]

I wouldn’t say it has to touch your chest, but it should definitely come right above it! ☺️

[@sunidhisunilkurup4784]

Why do I still feel it in the back of my arms only ?! Granted I’m a beginner but ... it’s concerning cause I don’t wanna waste time and energy doing the wrong form

[@maiabroughton-1832]

Your probably pulling it down with your arms instead of utilising the use of your back to pull the bar down

[@jonat89]

@@maiabroughton-1832 I had that problem too. I’ll def start focusing more on using my back muscles instead

[@rizalinabanez4298]

Can I ask what shoes you’re wearing?

[@happygirl4218]

May I ask how tall you are?

[@eviltrinichick]

Had the gym trainer tell me I'm doing lat pulldowns wrong because I had a wide grip.

[@missclaud1772]

Is it bad if my feet aren't flat on the floor? I'm short, so if i adjust the seat so that my thighs touch the cushion then my feet aren't fully flat on the ground anymore

[@naomikong]

LoL No worries, I’ve been there, too! 😆🙌🏼 As much foot on the floor as you can get it perfect!

[@U235-p2b]

since you said you were a beginner, im guessing that you haven't formed a mind-muscle connection yet and you are pulling mainly with your triceps. you want to focus all of your attention to your lats and make sure you are using only your lats to pull. like the video said, always make sure your shoulder blades are retracted downwards or else the rotator cuff in your shoulder might get damaged from constant bad form. in the video, she is pulling towards her upper chest, but you can experiment around with the landing position somewhere between the upper chest and the collarbone. its different for each person. also, its hard to know what's wrong just from words alone. a video can make the process a lot easier. there are a lot of useful videos out there on youtube for lifting weights but they don't always cover every single inch. they are more like guidelines. so take your time to perfect the technique or you can ask a trainer or even an experienced lifter in your local gym to help you out. bodybuilding is a long long journey my friend.
