Lat pull-ups are a basic exercise for training the latissimus. This exercise promotes back width and creates a V-shape in the upper body. The pulling movement in the vertical axis should be included in every back workout.
Place the cable pulls on the top step and attach a simple handle on each side.
2
Grasp a handle with each hand in a neutral grip (palms facing inwards) and kneel in the middle of the two cable towers. Arms are almost fully extended and in line with the upper body. The back is slightly stretched.
3
Pull the handles down forcefully until your elbows are at the side of your body. Exhale as you do so
4
Slowly move the handles upwards again in a controlled manner until your arms are fully stretched and in the starting position. Breathe in as you do this
5
One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Use the full range of motion! When the handles are in the top position, your shoulders should be pulled slightly upwards. When pulling down, do not pull your elbows down in front of your body, but to the side of your body. Make sure that you do not have a hunched back. Only use enough weight so that you are not pulled upwards. Otherwise, use a dip belt with weight.
If you lack the necessary grip strength, feel free to use pulling aids!
