Use THIS On Lat Pulldowns For Bigger Lats

When it comes to the lat pulldown, the equipment that you use can have a big effect on how you train your back. The lat pulldown is most often performed using a standard bar, but I think that you can unlock greater muscle building potential using a different attachment.

While there is nothing wrong with using the standard bar, I think you can make the exercise more effective by using a narrower grip. If you don’t know exactly how narrow your grip should be, I implore that you use a triceps pushdown bar instead. This will force a narrower grip which will allow for more stretch on the lats at the top of the exercise as your elbows are in front of your body and will keep the elbows tight to your sides, activating the lats more.

If you want to build bigger lats, specifically, then switching to the triceps pushdown bar just might be the move you need to make in order to build a bigger, wider back.
