The Lever Front Pulldown exercise is a variation of the traditional pulldown exercise that targets the lats, biceps, and upper back muscles. It is performed on a lever machine, which provides resistance through a stack of weights instead of using a cable and pulley system.
How to perform
To perform the Lever Front Pulldown exercise, follow these steps:1. Adjust the seat height of the lever machine so that the handles are at shoulder level.
2. Sit down on the machine and grip the handles with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
3. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged throughout the movement.
4. Pull the handles down towards your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body and squeezing your shoulder blades together at the bottom of the movement.
5. Slowly release the handles back up to the starting position, maintaining control and tension in your muscles.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
7. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can add more weight to the stack or perform a drop set by decreasing the weight after reaching muscle failure.
It is important to use proper form and technique when performing the Lever Front Pulldown exercise to prevent injury and maximize the effectiveness of the exercise. Start with a light weight and focus on mastering the movement before increasing the resistance.
Equipment required
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded)
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded) equipment is used for strength training exercises. It consists of a weight-loaded lever system attached to a seat or bench to provide resistance. These machines are designed to target specific muscle groups and allow for controlled and isolated movements to build muscle strength and mass. They are commonly used for exercises such as chest presses, squats, rows, and shoulder presses.
