With over 50 exercises to choose from, the Bowflex PR3000 Home Gym is a excellent choice to perform the “lat” pull-down. This is an exercise is mainly for the back, although the shoulders and arms also get a good workout. The latissimus dorsi on either side of the middle to upper back is the main targeted muscle group and is also the muscle from which the exercise gets its name.
To perform the exercise sit on the seat of Bowflex PR3000, grasp the cable bar with a wide overhand grip, knuckles up, and make sure you can reach the bar when you stretch up, so you don’t have the bar so high that you have to drag it down under pressure so you can sit down. Next, keep your back straight, pull the bar down to about chin level or a little lower in a smooth movement while squeezing the shoulder blades together. Slowly return the bar to full height and repeat the exercise (10-12 reps 3 sets)
