The cable lateral pulldown is an exercise that targets the latissimus dorsi muscles, which are located on the sides of your back. To perform this exercise, you need a cable machine with a wide-grip bar attachment. Here are the steps:
- Stand in front of the cable machine and grasp the bar with a wide overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Step back and lean slightly forward, keeping your arms straight and your chest up.
- Pull the bar down to your upper chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together and keeping your elbows out to the sides.
- Slowly return the bar to the starting position, maintaining tension on the cable.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
