Q. What are the uses of lat pulldown machine?

Answer

If you have trouble executing pullups or chinups or if you're practising for them this exercise is a great alternative. Although to a lesser extent the lat pulldown engages some of the same muscles as a pull up. In addition because you complete the lat pulldown while seated you may engage your abdominals and hip flexors to help keep your body stable. The pulldown really activated the abdominals more effectively than the pullup did according to an earlier study. The lat pulldown is advantageous to athletes in a variety of sports including swimming acrobatics wrestling and cross-country skiing which all need a comparable pulling motion.
