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 chest as you lean back to finish the motion as a horizontal row, pulling the shoulder blades down and back, then return to the upright extended position under control.
 
Purpose
The neutral-grip lat pulldown to chest is a hybrid vertical and horizontal exercise that builds most of the back and pulling musculature such as the lats, traps, posterior delts, biceps and forearms. It allows training a full shoulder range of motion by starting upright, but better scapular retraction typically heavier weights by finishing with a horizontal rowing motion. 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, and/or using fat grips. Neutral-grip pulldowns to chest can also be done with a band.
