Seated Lat Pull Down Exercise to Increase Back Strength

Hi! I’m personal trainer Mike Coangelo. I’m here at Fit for Life Training Studio in Glassboro, New Jersey on behalf of Expert Village. Today, in this clip, we’re going to learn how to do a unilateral seated lat pull down. So, what you want to do is you want to grab your handles like so; seated on the floor. You’re going to bring your elbows toward your sides, squeeze the shoulder blades together, exhale, and go up slowly. Let them stretch, return, and squeeze them. Now, you want to keep your back straight. You don’t want to do any of this kind of rocking, because that’s going to take the angle away from the exercise in which you intend to do it. Down, squeeze, exhale, and up slow. Again, we don’t want to do this and get it over with quickly. You’re taking away the effect of this exercise. Two seconds down, squeeze it; three seconds up, return. Down and squeeze it, up return. Down and squeeze, up and return, squeeze it, and return. Now, you’re going to notice this a different angle than your standard lat pull down, which is a great thing because the body is going to respond to changes in your exercise routine in a positive way. As we get towards then end of our repetitions here, 12-15 for our beginners, you’re going to start to feel the burn in the forearms, biceps, and especially lat muscles in your back. We have 3 more. We’re squeezing them down at the bottom, bringing them up slowly, squeezing at the bottom, bringing them up slowly. Last one, and that’s it. That’s how you complete a seated unilateral lat pull down.
