Lever Seated Wide Pulldown Instructions

Positioning:

  1. Adjust the Machine: Set the seat height so that your legs are comfortable and your arms can reach the bar without stretching too far.

  2. Sit Down: Sit on the machine with your back against the back support.

  3. Grip the Bar: Grab the wide bar with an overhand grip (palms facing away) slightly wider than shoulder-width. Your hands should be outside of your shoulders.

Movement:

  1. Start Position: Begin with your arms fully extended above you, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows. Your chest should be up and shoulders back.

  2. Pull Down: Engage your back muscles and pull the bar down smoothly towards your upper chest. Keep your elbows pointed down and back, squeezing your shoulder blades together.

  3. Pause: At the bottom of the movement, pause briefly to feel the contraction in your back muscles.

  4. Return to Start: Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position, controlling the movement without letting the weight stack touch.

  5. Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions while maintaining proper form throughout.

Tips:

  • Keep your core tight to maintain stability.

  • Avoid using momentum; focus on a controlled movement.

  • If needed, adjust the weight to ensure you can complete the set with proper form.
