Trying to see if you have any gas left in the tank after a great back workout?
The Cables - Lat. Pullover primarily targets your latissimus dorsi, specifically under the armpits.
This exercise is primarily used to grow a wider looking back!
Video Demonstration:
Form:
From the ground up, keep feet plated inside shoulder width apart, slight bend in the knees, while bending at the waist at about a 45 degree angle with the ground.
Reach full extension with a slight bend at the elbows.
When pulling towards you waist, notice how bend through my elbows increases. Just like any pulling exercise for back, keep the pulling through your elbows.
Notice how when in deepest flexion (EZ-Bar closest to waist), I'm squeezing my shoulder blades like any other back exercise.
Repeat until failure in form or strength.
Tip:
Find the attachment that best activates the outer latissimus dorsi for you, for me, its anything more close/narrow gripped. For example, close grip on the EZ-Bar Attachment like presented above or close grip using the rope attachment.
