Close-Grip Lat Pulldown
Use a close-grip attachment on a lat pulldown and pull down as far as the lower part of your pecs. The key here is to have your elbows and arms outward and not tucked away at your sides. Doing so even on setup, you’ll feel the lats naturally expand which gets them ready to fire up. On pulling down, ONLY focus on using your lats — not your arms. If you find your arms being used, then go lighter on weight.
