Fixed pulldown

Starting Position

1. Sit on the machine and secure the thigh pads on your legs.

2. Grip the bar with both hands wider than shoulder-width.

3. Fully extend your arms and slightly lean your upper body back while puffing out your chest.

Proper Form

1. Pull the bar down while lowering your elbows to your sides.

2. Focus on contracting your latissimus dorsi as you pull the bar up to near your chest.

3. Instead of excessively sending your elbows back, maintain the feeling of pulling them down.

4. Slowly raise the bar while extending your arms and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pulling the bar, and inhale when returning to the starting position while lifting the bar.
