Cable Reverse Grip Pulldown

Muscles involved

Adding the Cable Reverse Grip Pulldown into your weekly routine introduces a refreshing variation to your vertical pulling movements. Reversing your hand position on the pulley machine allows for a deeper stretch and a crisp squeeze as you pull down, giving your back a unique stimulus that traditional grips cannot match. The practical result you will experience is a noticeably stronger upper body and an upright posture that feels effortless throughout the day. By adjusting the angle on the cable setup, you build superior control over your pull movements, helping you sculpt a dense, balanced, and durable back capable of handling tougher gym challenges.

How to do it

1. Attach a straight bar to a high pulley, sit on the machine, and grasp the bar with an underhand grip (palms facing you) at shoulder width. 2. Lean back slightly, keep your chest up, and pull the bar down towards your upper chest by driving your elbows down and back. 3. Pause at the bottom, squeezing your biceps and lats together. 4. Slowly and in a controlled manner, allow the bar to return to the starting position overhead.
