I read a Frederic Delavier’s book « Strength Training Anatomy » and I learned good stuff.
Sitting face to the machine with your thighs under pads. You take the bar with a pronated grip and a very wide grip:
-
Inhale and pull the bar until your neck by bringing your elbows along your body.
-
Exhale at the end of your movement
This exercise works your latissimus dorsi (exterior and lower fibers) and teres major. This exercise works a little bit the forearm flexor muscles, (biceps, brachialis, and brachioradialis), rhomboid and lower trapezius.
This exercise allows you to develop your back’s width and it is excellent for beginners to develop the strength to do chin-ups.
