What is a Lat Pulldown ?
The pulldown exercise or the cable lat pulldown is a compound exercise designed to stress and develop the Latissimus dorsi(Lat). To feel this muscle in its motion, stand with your elbow in the air 45 deg from vertical above and in front of your shoulder. Rotate it through in a smooth arc down and back until it stops and is pointing down and back towards the floor at a 45 deg angle. The bunched up feeling in your back, where your arm hits, is your Lat. [1]
The pulldown is a compound exercise because it requires movement at two joints (elbow and shoulder). The full range of the motion required by the exercise also works the biceps muscle in the arm and the muscles of the middle back. The pulldown uses a similar motion as the chinup.
The exercise is useful when the weight to be used is larger or smaller than the bodyweight of the individual performing the exercise or, there are other mitigating factors that prevent the use of the chinup as effective for this muscle group. [1]This is an excellent exercise for beginners to back work because it is a compound exercise. Maintaining correct form and setting up machines sometimes requires assistance.
