Easy Lat Pulldown Machine Exercises

Standing Lat Pulldown

Pulling down in a sitting position basically isolates your lats. By changing to a standing variation, it would require more core areas. In addition, make sure to lean the torso back to maximize the benefits of a horizontal and vertical pull. You might not work out as hard as a seated pulldown, but this version can bring an interesting pulling angle.

To do it, start with grabbing the bar of the lat pulldown machine with a wide grip. Put up one foot on the seat’s edge and lean back around 30 degrees with your foot stayed firmly on the ground. Make sure to keep the torso stable and contract back muscles. Reverse the movement slowly and return to the initial position. [3]
