Cable Reverse Grip Lat Pulldown
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.
- Equipment
- Cable
HOW TO PERFORM
- Take the bar with an underhand grip, palms facing you, hands about shoulder width, and secure the thighs under the pad.
- Pull the bar to the upper chest, driving the elbows down and in toward the ribs.
- Return under control until the arms are straight overhead.
FORM TIPS
- The underhand grip brings the biceps in harder and keeps the elbows in front of the body, so the bar finishes lower on the chest than on an overhand pulldown.
