< strong>Latissimus dorsi training: alternating pull-downs
The high pull-down is one of the most popular training exercises in the gym. It can well exercise our latissimus dorsi muscles and strengthen our back. The latissimus muscles are like a pair of wings, building an inverted triangle figure for us!
In training, we must make some changes in a timely manner, add some tricks to our training content, enhance the fun of training, and give our muscles different experiences and stimulation!
Today I want to introduce to you a great variation of high pull-down: alternating pull-down!
Action demonstration:
and The same as the traditional pull-down mode, let's change the method: use the left and right hands to alternate the high pull-down method.
The benefits of doing this!
1. Compared with ordinary two-hand pull-down movements, single-arm movement provides you with a wider range of movement and micro-mobilizes more motor units. Let your back muscles stretch and contract better, and it can also help you correct the imbalance of left and right muscle strength!
2. Increase the time the muscles are under tension
Alternating pull-downs have the advantages of unilateral training! At the same time, because when one hand is moving, the other hand is in a static state of bearing weight, which can help you increase the time your muscles are under tension, and will also challenge your shoulder stability!
Tips:
1. Pay attention to the torso not to rotate or rotate during the movement.Lateral flexion
2. Pay attention to maintaining tension during the movement, especially on the stationary side!
3. Control the rhythm when playing back the weight, do not fall freely, maintain tension, and slowly stretch your muscles!
