V-Bar Pull Down Video Exercise Guide

The V-bar lat pull down is a variation of the lat pull down and an exercise commonly used to target the muscles of the back.

Commonly mistaken for a close grip pull down, the V-bar pull down does utilize a closer grip than the traditional lat pull down. However, the main difference between the two is the neutral hand placement used during the V-bar pull down.

This neutral hand placement can aid in alleviating stress placed on the shoulder during the vertical pulling movement pattern.
