Latissimus Pull-Down

This exercise works your latissimus dorsi, biceps, and pectoralis major. You can perform this movement in sitting or standing position (sitting may make it easier to stabilize), with the tubing behind you, attached to something such as a door, as in figure 4.4. Start with your hands overhead, midway between straight up and straight out. Pull the tubing down and forward until your hands are even with your shoulders. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat.
