How To: Lat Pulldown | 3 GOLDEN RULES

The slightest change in your form can take the focus of this exercise our of your LATS and place more emphasis on your biceps and upper back. But after you watch this video you will know EXACTLY what to do to not only master the exercise, but build some serious muscle with it!

Today we’re going to talk about the 3 golden rules for how to perform a lat pulldown properly. A lat pulldown is a great exercise that’s going to target almost the entire back, mainly focusing on width. However, you will also be involving other muscles in your back like your traps, rhomboids and rear delts, as well as the biceps to a degree. Keep in mind this article will only cover the OVERHAND grip version of the movement, and we will cover the UNDERHAND grip version in another article.
Golden Rule #1: Proper Elbow Positioning
You want to make sure that you’re pulling the weight down properly, so that you’re not only maximizing your pulling strength, but you’re also placing your shoulders in a position where they’re not compromised so that you don’t have to worry about shoulder impingement issues. What happens with most people with this movement, is they grab the weight and sit down, and while you are supposed to keep your chest up during the movement, what tends to happen is the weight comes down and the elbows go back. That’s not what you want to do, and you’re actually not going to feel that much mat engagement doing it this way.
The correct way to perform this movement is keeping your elbows slightly in front of you and then in-line with your hips as you pull down. This is going to give you MORE pulling power, so more strength to pull more weight, and it’s also going to place your shoulders in a position to where they’re not compromised and you won’t have to worry about shoulder impingement.
Golden Rule #2: Never Pull The Weight Behind Your Neck
You always want to pull the weight down in front of your body, and not behind your neck. Pulling the weight down behind your neck is unnecessary, as it can be dangerous for your shoulder joint, as well as your cervical spine. Proper form should have you pulling down in front of you until the bar touches your chest. Improper form will see you pulling the bar down behind your head.
What’s going to end up happening is you won’t be able to lift as much weight to overload your lats as much as possible. Remember how we just talked about how you want to keep your elbows in-line with your hips to really feel that stretching and tearing in your lats? Well, if you’re pulling the bar down behind your head, your elbows will be pulling backwards, which is not optimal for back growth. So skip behind the neck pulldowns, and just do them the regular way!
Golden Rule #3: Do Not Pull The Weight With Your Biceps
You want to pull the weight using as little of your biceps as possible, while trying to keep as much of the focus as possible on your lats. If you’re a beginner, this is a concept that might seem kind of weird to you, because you don’t quite have that mind-muscle connection (MMC) developed yet. However, there are some tricks that you can apply to the movement to develop that MMC, and for those of you who have already established a MMC, this will help you make it even stronger.
The next time you do a lat pulldown, instead of gripping the bar with your thumb wrapped underneath, I want you to put it on top. It might not seem like a big deal, but what happens mentally is that once you let go with your thumb and place it on top of the bar, you start to kind of visualize your hands more as just hooks that are in place to help you pull the weight down, as opposed to gripping and pulling as hard as you can with your hands. Once you have hooked the bar, you’ll sit down in place, and then visualize pulling the weight down with your elbows. If you’re able to do that, you’ll quickly see a difference in how your back is engaged. If you don’t believe me, do a regular set squeezing the bar as hard as you can with your thumb UNDER the bar, and you’ll feel it more in your biceps. Then put those thumbs on top, focus on pulling with your elbows, and you’ll feel it more in your back.

My back don't fell right like this. Not saying video wrong it's helped to do exercises correct just If i turn round on my multi gym so much better as i have support on my back. Watching video so i do exercise correct as my back just has no support doing this way. I used do other way untill looked at the booklet on line and exercise for the mult gym. I don't want be doing the excerdise and see no difference. Very stressful where i live due tonoise why bought a multi gym. When i sit other way and use a shorter bar it actually fells better for me

The presenter does a fabulous job going through the script and does not make common presentation mistakes. The camera work is great. The outro is perfectly timed.

[@hathlete4ever916]

Outstanding tips and video!!! I had no idea that I'd been doing these wrong after all these years. For your personal preference, do you think these are better and more effective than pull ups? Or do you think pull ups are better and more effective?

Pull-ups would be king but these are awesome lat builders too!
