By Paul Graham


A lifting of the machine weights used to be greatly adored by most people in the recent past until it was claimed to cause some imbalances in muscles. People were thus advised against it and told to use other fitness techniques. However, there are still some machine fitness techniques that are healthier and cause the balance to muscles and such include the lat bar exercises. They offer a variety of workouts thus they are very efficient for the stabilization of muscles. They include pull-downs as well as pull-ups that are very efficient and help one in building body mass and strength at the same time. They are also good for shoulders and arms.

These exercises are powerful muscle stabilizers, and they are very effective in the stabilization of the spinal cord and posture. People are thus being encouraged to adopt these training techniques so that they can strengthen their muscles and have a better posture. More so, if one has a strong back, he/she can have overall bodily strength and fitness hence if you are looking for the best fitness techniques, you should consider the lat pull-downs.

Some of the pull-down technique tips include keeping the chest tall by bringing it to the machine. Your elbows should be pointed downwards in a straight manner and pull the machine from your armpits while squeezing the equipment. Also, you should lower your chin and grab the machine outside your shoulders or lower. You can also try using the V-grip handle during the workout to be more stable.

There are however some common errors that most people commit during the pull-downs. Pulling the machine behind your neck is one of the mistakes, and it should be avoided at all costs. Some people also tend to pull the machine below their elbows such that the elbows point backward. This can be very uncomfortable and can even cause irritation and emergence of lingering pain hence it should also be avoided.

Other people use momentum, but this might alter the angle of pulling hence altering the intention of the fitness as it will be like mid back technique and not a pull-down. One should also avoid going wider than normal as the range tends to be shorted thus one strains the muscles and irritating.

There are some workout techniques that most people must have forgotten about. These include the single-arm technique, a declined dumbbell pull-over, single-arm machine row, negative pull-ups and kneeling cable techniques. All these workouts have some specific procedures that must be followed to the latter to achieve fitness and to prevent irritation in the shoulders and arms.

Several people might have damaged their shoulders hence the pull-downs, as well as pull-ups, tend to be strenuous to them. Such individuals are advised to perform some other kinds of exercises that will be friendlier to joints and allow their shoulders to freely move so that they can also enjoy the workouts and become stronger at the same time.
