JADO YOU DO YOUR LAT PULLDOWNS CORRECTLY? 👀🤔
One of the biggest mistakes I see during lat pulldowns as a personal trainer is people not setting their position correctly prior to starting their set.
This often leads to them using their biceps more to lift the weight, rather than placing the emphasis on their lats.
To fix this, it’s important to get into position by pulling your shoulder blades down and lifting your chest up. This is known as scapula depression and corrects posture and helps to isolate the lats. ✅
Two cues I use when instructing this exercise:
‘Increase the distance between your ears to your shoulders’
Or
‘Pull your shoulders down into your back pockets’
I also tell my clients to focus on bringing their chest to the bar/attachment, rather than bringing the bar down to their chest.
This encourages them to keep a good body position throughout the exercise.
