Neutral-Grip Lat Pulldown
Sit at a lat pulldown station and attach a neutral-grip (palms-facing) handle to the cable. Grab the handles, secure your thighs under the pads, and lean back slightly with your chest up. Pull the handle down toward your upper chest by driving your elbows down and back, squeezing your lats at the bottom. Control the bar back up until your arms are fully extended and your lats stretch. The neutral grip keeps the wrists comfortable and emphasizes the lower lats.
