Latpull downs are one of my favorite vertical pull exercises. They can be extremely beneficial in building upper body strength and target the upper body muscles, especially the latissimus dorsi, biceps, and deltoids muscles. However, this exercise is often done wrong and you see many people using a ton of momentum to complete the movement. .
.
Avoid:
.
❌ Using excessive momentum .
❌ Excessive extension at the spine .
❌ Shrugging - make sure the neck is visible at all times
.
❌ Lack of range of motion
.
General Guidelines .
✔ Set the scaps as demonstrated at the beginning of the video (shoulders back and down) .
✔ Head slightly back and out of the way in order to pull the bar towards your clavicle (collarbone)
✔ Making sure the hips and feet stay planted and the movement is controlled and strict
✔ Lead with the elbows - To reduce the biceps from taking over try to mentally cue yourself to lead the movement with the elbows as opposed to your hands.
.
.
✔ Make sure you’re wearing a santa hat to give you extra power*
