Tubing Exercises: Lat Pull Downs

This upper body tubing exercise is called the lat pull-down. Grab your tubing which should be about light to medium resistance. Place your hands in the handles. And then take some of the tubing to create the resistance right here. And extend your arms up and then pull the tubing right to the chest level and extend up. When you are doing a lat pull-down concentrate on that area right up underneath your arms, right here pulling down. That's the latissimus dorsi. And squeeze the shoulder blades down your back. So it's like you're sliding your shoulder blades into your back pockets. Exhale as you pull down, inhale as you release that. Exhale down and up. Keep it very smooth and controlled; try not to lock out your elbows when you extend your arms. Try to keep your wrists straight as you pull down. And just continue that lat pull-down until you fatigue out those latissimus dorsi. And that is your lat pull-down.
