A lat pulldown machine is designed to stress and develop the Latissimus dorsi or better known as your lats. To feel this muscle in its motion, stand with your elbow in the air 45 deg from vertical above and in front of your shoulder. Rotate it through in a smooth arc down and back until it stops and is pointing down and back towards the floor at a 45 deg angle. The bunched up feeling in your back, where your arm hits, this is your Lat.

The pulldown on a lat pulldown machine regardless of whether it is an economy brand machine or an commercial brand machine is a compound exercise because it requires movement at two joints (elbow and shoulder). The full range of the motion required by the exercise also works the biceps muscle in the arm and the muscles of the middle back. The exercise is useful when the weight to be used is larger or smaller than the bodyweight of the individual performing the exercise or, there are other mitigating factors that prevent the use of the chinup as effective for this muscle group. This is an excellent exercise for beginners to back work because it is a compound exercise. Ask your gym personnel or an experienced weight lifter for assistance in setting up and correct form. Below you will find a great selection of lat machines. We also included some cable lat pulldown attachments that you may be interested in.
