pronated pull-down

A multi-joint exercise & concentric exercise, using a high cable with a pronated grip (lat bar attachment).

Considered a middle-back exercise, with the following muscle groups:

  • targeted: lats and (mid) traps
  • secondary: deltoids (posterior deltoid) and forearms (forearm extensors)

Level: beginner (less challenging than the pull-up).

Exercise grading: S.

An alternative to the pull-up, with a wider and more progressive difficulty range.

Not to be confused with supinated pull-down.

A.k.a.: pronated cable lat pull-down
