Technique

How to perform Machine Front Lat Pulldown

1. Adjust the seat and thigh pad so your thighs are held in place and you can reach the overhead handles.
2. Take an underhand grip on the handles and sit facing the machine with your feet supported and torso upright.
3. Bend your elbows and pull them down beside your body, following the machine's arc as they travel slightly behind your torso.
4. Keep the torso position steady rather than rocking backward to finish the pull.
5. Let the handles rise under control as your elbows extend and your shoulders follow the overhead reach naturally.
6. Repeat without jerking the handles or forcing the arms farther back at the bottom.
