Regression of Lat Pulldown

REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Light neutral-grip pulldown

These steps are written specifically for the Light neutral-grip pulldown. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Light neutral-grip pulldown. Set up at a pulldown station with the thighs secured and the arms long overhead. Keep resistance intentionally low so position—not load—is the challenge.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Keep the ribcage steady and pull the elbows down toward the hips as the bar approaches the upper chest.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Use this version to make the position repeatable before adding range, load, or speed.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Finish without leaning far back, then let the arms reach overhead slowly for the next rep. Keep the ribcage controlled.

Sets: 3–4 · Reps: 8–15

Light neutral-grip pulldown is a regression of Lat Pulldown. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The machine scales vertical pulling cleanly and lets the shoulder blades begin elevated before the elbows finish down toward the ribs.
