For a toned, sculpted back, go to the cable machine: Pull-downs light your lats on fire. But busting out this exercise with improper form could lead to some serious issues with back strain in the future. To make sure that doesn’t happen to you-and to get the most value for your money out of this move-watch this video where Planet Fitness trainer Maria Almonte shows you exactly what your pull-downs need to look like.?
Begin by getting right into a stable stance, with your feet hip-width apart. Lean back very slightly. Grab the cable handles utilizing an overhand grip. Beginning with your elbows slightly bent (not locked or hyperextended), pull the cables toward the body.?
As you pull, squeeze your shoulder blades until you reach your finished position. Then continue to engage parts of your muscles as you return the cables to their starting point. If you see that your body is moving forward or backward during the exercise, lower the quantity of weight you’re lifting to prevent injury and back pain. Once you can maintain perfect form throughout the movement, you might want to consider adding excess fat.?
