"SHANAY NORVELL: Now it's time for lat pulldowns. With lat pulldowns, you are working your full latissimus dorsi, which are the muscles on your back from the top extending down to the bottom. You're also going to get two-for-one special with your biceps. You're going to do this on a cable machine with a wide grip. Your hands are to the outside, pull the bar just right at your chin, you don't have to slam it to your chest, and then slowly release. I don't want your head cranked back. I also don't want it dropped down. I want it just in the middle in a neutral position. Exhale as you pull, squeezing your shoulder blades together, working your rhomboids, your lats, your biceps, so basically all of your upper body. That breathing, exhale as you pull, inhale as you release. Right past the chin. Exhale. Inhale. And when you squeeze and when you release this, you can step up, slowly release and you're done with your lat pulldowns."
