v bar pulldown Exercise

Target Muscle: Latisimus Dorsi, (Back/Lats)

The Neutral Grip Lat Pulldown is a great exercise that targets the lat muscles in the back.

To get started:

1. Sit down at a lat pulldown machine with your knees just underneath the pads.
2. Extend your arms into the air to grab the attached v-bar with a neutral grip.
3. Keeping your core tight, chest up, and your torso stationary, contract your lat muscles to pull the v-bar down to your upper chest.
4. Think about moving the bar with your back muscles, not your arms. 
5. Contract the back muscles for a good squeese at the bottom of the lift, then under control, reverse the movement back to the starting position with your arms fully extended and lats fully stretched.
6. Repeat.
V-bar pulldown (back) and the dip exercise (chest). One of the chest/back supersets that works really well for me.

The next workout I would start out with chest first.
I gave training chest and back at the same time a try because Arnold Schwarzenegger himself did this as well.
Some advantages to this type of training would be:
-It saves time and is more efficient
-A greater pump and a continious flushing effect of both areas.

Low Row Bars

Low Row Bars - This attachment has two short parallel handles attached to two triangular 
 bars .

 It is primarily used for  cable lines and close grip pulldowns.  Long Multi-Use Vbar - This bar has a long handle to hold the  protruding on the side that looks like a 
 upside-down V. 

The design allows this bar to relieve some of the  load on the wrist by holding the triceps hard.  rows and pulldowns are other exercises you can run using with the v-bar lat pulldown and   v-grip pulldown,v-handle pull down.

 Lat Exercise: V-Bar Pulldown

This weight training exercise solicits the muscles of the back. Working at the high pulley is interesting when it is not possible to do push-ups at the fixed bar, with the body weight. We can easily adjust the starting load with a weight that corresponds to our level of force, and increase it as we progress. The tight grip especially applies to the latissimus dorsi, the large round and of course the biceps.

Targeted muscles

Mainly the dorsal fin, the large round, the muscles of the arms (brachii biceps, anterior brachial), the trapezoids (middle and lower portions), posterior rhomboids and deltoids. The semi-pronation intake (the palms of the hands face each other) urges the long supinator of the arm.

Execution of the exercise

Sit on the seat of the machine by placing the knees under the socks. Hold the pulling triangle with both hands. Lean back slightly. Bring the pulling triangle up to the chest by contracting the backbones. Return to the starting position by braking the load. The back remains straight while running.
Breathing
Insert the triangle against the chest and exhale into the upper position.

SEATED CABLE ROW

Sit on a bench on the cable line with your feet firmly installed on the footrest. Grab the low heat bar 
 mounted on the cable pulley. 

Bend knees slightly and straighten your back. Keep a slight arch in the lower back and avoid putting in the chest.

Focus on pulling the handle toward the center and running your elbows back until handle touches your lower abdomen. 

 Grasp the shoulder blades together at the peak of the contraction and then slowly return to the starting position. 

 Note: This exercise can be performed using a rattova overhand or underhand grip.

ONE-ARM SEATED CABLE ROW

I sat on the cable bench so that my right leg was supported from the bench and my right foot was firmly secured to the foot platform .
 The left leg  should be bent and firmly fixed to the floor. 
 Cable Holds a single handle Dgrip attached to a pulley. Bend your right knee slightly and keep your etc.
 straight. Keep a little arch on your hips and keep your chest outwards.

Pull the handle to focus on and move your elbows back as far as you can. Slowly 
 returns to its starting position. 

After completing the desired number of s, repeat on the left  side.

 starting position and do a deep stretch. Complete times and repeat on the right.

Tilt the about 45 degrees from now on. Use a split stance:  Left foot is behind and right foot is 

Pull the handle to the left of your hips until your elbows pass through your body. Return to the 

 starting position and do a deep stretch. Complete times and repeat on the right. 

Safety instructions

On this exercise, bodybuilding practitioners cheat by leaning over backwards and using the lower back to pull the load often too heavy. Use a weight matching your level! The goal is to shoot with the backbones, not only with the arms. Start the movement with the back muscles by pulling the elbows down.
