OK so now I'm going to show you something to work your lats, that's part of your back, right back here, OK? This is called the lat pull-down, and again you always want to use proper form, it's really important. So many times I see people on this just yanking it down, yanking the bar down, swinging, moving. You don't want to do that. This is really important, OK? It's always important. You want to keep it slow and controlled. Just isolated movement. You want to flex the muscle that you are working on. That's what you want to focus on, which is your back, like I said OK? So here we go. So I'm going to take a wide grip like this, OK? A little bit wider than shoulder width. I'm going to lean back slightly and just squeeze it down. Bring it down to my chest. Just like that. That's it. When you take a wide grip, a little bit wider that shoulder width, you're going to hit the lower part of your lats, OK? And you want to sometimes do it that way, and you want to sometimes take a close grip. That's just going to hit your back a little differently.
