Diverging Lat Pulldown User’s Guide
As the equipment name suggests, the lat pulldown is designed to specifically
strengthen your latissimus dorsi muscles (more commonly known as your
lats). This large muscle helps to rotate the arm and pull the shoulders down
and back.
Setup
Number Action
Select an appropriate weight.
Adjust the seat so that your finger tips touch the handles.
Adjust the thigh pad downward until it makes contact with the top of
your thighs.
Grasp the handles with both hands, and return to the seated position.
Action
Begin with your arms extended, with a slight bend in the elbow.
Pull the handles to chin level in a controlled motion.
Slowly return to the start position and avoid letting the weight stack hit
between repetitions.
Training Tips
Vary your workout by rotating the hand grip to change your starting
position.
Challenge your muscles with bilateral, single side or alternating arm
movements.
Avoid rocking your body to create momentum when pulling heavy loads.
Avoid pulling the handles behind your neck.
Maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise.
