Hold a neutral-grip cable attachment overhead—most commonly this will be a narrow grip as well. Keeping the trunk braced and back in its neutral position, pull the handles to the upper chest, pulling the shoulder blades down and back, then return to the extended position under control.
 
Purpose
The neutral-grip lat pulldown builds most of the back and pulling musculature such as the lats, traps, posterior delts, biceps and forearms like the lat pulldown, but the narrow neutral grip tends to be stronger and use more middle back.
 
Programming
Generally sets of 5-15 are appropriate.
 
Variations
The neutral-grip pulldown can be done with a wide grip, using fat grips, and with varying degrees of backward lean. Neutral-grip pulldowns can also be done with a band.
