Rope Trainer Lat Pulldown
The lat pulldown on an endless-rope trainer: seated, you draw the rope down from overhead hand over hand, the way a climber takes rope.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the bench facing the rope, both hands gripping it overhead, arms long.
Steps
- Pull one hand down to the chest while the other reaches up and regrips higher.
- Keep drawing the rope hand over hand in a steady rhythm.
- Stay tall on the seat, the back and arms doing the pulling.
Common mistakes
Leaning back to haul the rope: stay upright; the lats pull, not the body's weight. Short choppy pulls: reach high and bring each hand all the way to the chest. Loose grip on the regrip: close the hand fully before it pulls.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
