The Lat pulldown is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in your back, particularly the latissimus dorsi, which is the largest muscle in the upper body. It's performed using a cable machine with a high pulley and a wide-grip bar attached. To execute the exercise, you sit on a bench, grip the bar with your hands wider than shoulder-width apart, and pull it down towards your chest while keeping your back straight and shoulders down.

For the correct hand position in the Lat pulldown, your hands should be positioned slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the bar. This wider grip allows for greater activation of the latissimus dorsi muscles, maximizing the effectiveness of the exercise. Additionally, make sure your palms are facing away from you (pronated grip) during the movement. This grip position helps engage the back muscles more effectively and reduces the involvement of the biceps, ensuring that the targeted muscles are adequately worked during the exercise.
