HOW TO DO V-BAR LAT PULLDOWN
V-BAR LAT PULLDOWN
The V-Bar Lat Pulldown, performed on a cable machine with a V-shaped handle attachment, primarily targets the upper back muscles, particularly the latissimus dorsi (lats), which contribute to the coveted V-shaped back appearance.
HOW TO DO:
Grasp the V-Bar handle with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
Inhale, engaging your lats by squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Exhale as you pull the V-Bar handle down toward your upper chest, keeping elbows close to your body.
Focus on utilizing back muscles for the movement, avoiding over-reliance on biceps.
Squeeze your lats at the bottom for a brief pause to maximize contraction.
Inhale as you slowly release the V-Bar handle back up, allowing arms to fully extend without locking elbows.
Tips:
Choose a weight ensuring proper form and control.
Avoid excessive momentum or swinging.
Engage core for stability.
