How to perform it
Adjust the cable machine so that the pulldown bar is at a height above your head. Sit down on the seat and grab the pulldown bar with an underhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Keep your back straight and lean back slightly. Pull the bar down towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly release the bar back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
