Great for building the pecs, triceps and anterior deltoids.

Machines are a safe way to start increasing load on muscles and get those all important gains in strength.💪

2. Keep your shoulders pinned back against the bench for the entire movement.✅

3. Keep the feet planted on the floor, make sure your lower back and shoulders stay in contact with he bench.✅

5. Focus on pushing yourself away from the handles, ensure full extention of arms.✅

Now you can utilise the chest press machine effectively.✅

📢TRAINER TIP📢

Lat pulldowns are a great back exercise but technique is vital to ensure effectiveness and safety.

1. During the pulldown focus on keeping your chest to the ceiling with an arched back.

2. Like a pullup, pull your shoulder blades back and down to begin the movement.

3. Focus less on pulling with arms and more on pulling with your back muscles.
