Tutorial: Seated banded lat pulldown

Seated banded lat pulldown

Target: Lats, shoulders, back

Form tips:

• Keep your chest up and shoulders down to allow better shoulder movement.
• Squeeze elbows into your ribs as you pull down so you're working your lats, not your forearms.
• An engaged core will support upright posture.
• If sitting with legs straight feels unsteady, try bending your knees.

Modification – Barbell full deadlift:

• Strengthen your lats with a deadlift if overhead movements are an issue. Keep shoulders down and squeeze in at your armpits for bigger lat activation.
