How to Properly Do A V bar Pulldown?

This exercise is about strengthening your back along with working Biceps, Middle Back and  Shoulders.You need a lat pull down machine and a vbar to perform this exercise.

To do this exercise properly

• Sit on the lat pull down machine with the row-bar / v bar attached to the cable and weights adjusted properly according to your capacity
• Press your thighs against the knee support/knee pads so that your body will be still while doing this exercise
• Lean slightly back with chest sticking out and grab the vbar with palms facing each other.
• Squeeze your shoulder blades as you pull down the vbar as if touching your chest.
• Hold in that position for a seconds and go back to initial position in a controlled fashion.
• Repeat until failure. Usually 8-12 reps.

If you find yourself leaning too much back then the weights are too heavy for you. Consider lowering them. Always remember to focus on your lats while doing this exercise.
