Cable Rear Pulldown (Wide Grip)

Instructions

Steps : 1.) Start by sitting on a bench that has a pulldown bar or on a lat-pulldown machine. 2.) Place each of your hands on the bar so that it is about a foot from your head and then slowly pull down the bar behind your back. 3.) Slowly pull down until the bar is at the base of your neck and squeeze your shoulder muscles. Be aware that this version of the lat pulldown can place additional stress on the shoulder joint. This is because the arms are externally rotated and abducted during the movement. A better option may be a lat pulldown to the upper chest instead. 4.) Hold this position for a count then return back up to the starting position. Tips : 1.) Make sure that you do not do too much weight or weight that is unmanageable as that can lead to injury or shoulder issues.
