How to do it
- Sit on the machine and set the thigh pads so the hips stay planted.
- Grip the wide handles overhead with a secure overhand grip.
- Sit tall with the chest up and both feet flat.
- Pull the handles down by driving the elbows toward the ribs.
- Pause when the elbows are about in line with the torso.
- Return the arms to full overhead reach without shrugging the traps up.
Common mistakes
- Leaning back into a row so the path is no longer a pulldown.
- Shrugging the handles down with the traps instead of the lats.
- Pulling with bent wrists and letting the elbows trail.
- Using so much plate that the last reps turn into a swing.
