Lat Pulldown Row

The lat pulldown is a compound back exercise that involves pulling a weight from above your head to your chest. It's similar to a pull-up, however instead of lifting your body up to a bar, you pull a bar down to your body.The pulldown exercise works the back muscles and is performed at a workstation with adjustable resistance, usually plates. While seated, you pull a hanging bar toward you to reach chin level, then release it back up with control for one repetition. This exercise can be done as part of an upper-body strength workout.
