Underhand Close Grip Lateral Pulldown Video Exercise Guide

The underhand close grip lat pulldown is similar to the regular close grip lat pulldown, but the underhand grip means that your biceps are more involved in the exercise.

1. Set up for the underhand close grip lat pull by attaching a small straight bar to the machine (you can use the wide grip bar if you prefer), setting the weight on the stack, and adjusting the knee pad.
2. Grab the bar with an underhand grip, with your hands around 10-12 inches apart.
3. Sit down on the machine with your arms fully outstretched. This is the starting position.
4. Keeping your back and body straight, slowly pull the weight down to your upper chest.
5. Pause, and then slowly lower the weight back to the start position. Do not let the stack drop.
6. Repeat for desired reps.
