Also known as: Close Grip Overhand Lat Pulldown (Cable).

A lat pulldown with a close overhand grip on a long bar.

How to perform this exercise

1. Sit at a lat-pulldown station with both feet grounded and thighs secured beneath the pad. Hold the straight inner section of the pulldown bar overhand with hands comfortably closer than shoulder width and begin with arms long overhead.
2. Pull the bar in front toward the upper chest by moving the elbows down, keeping the torso steady. Return slowly overhead without changing grip, pulling behind the head or swinging.
