Instructions:

Step 1: Sit down in front of a pull-down machine and select an appropriate attachment. Hold the bar with a pronated grip that is wider than the distance between the shoulders. Ensure that your torso is straight and perpendicular to the floor throughout the duration of the exercise.

Step 2: Gradually pull the attachment downwards until it touches the upper chest region.

Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the initial position.

Perform the exercise for 4 sets. Each set should contain 10-12 reps.

Important tip: Pull the attachment behind the neck instead of pulling it in front of the chest for an increased challenge. However, beginners should exercise caution while executing this variation of the exercise.
