Narrow Pulldown

Narrow Pulldown

What is this machine?

Kapea taljaveto on kuntosalilaite, joka kuormittaa ensisijaisesti Selkälihakset.

Liikkeessä työskentelevät myös Hauikset ja Selkälihakset.

The exercise suits a beginner: the range of motion is guided and you can start light.

On a machine the range of motion is guided, which makes it safe to train alone — but the settings must be adjusted to your own body, or the movement will be felt in the wrong place.

⚠️ Most common mistake: Pulling with the biceps and forearms instead of leading with the elbows and back. Leaning too far back so the lift turns into a row instead of a vertical pull. Cutting the top range short and never letting the arms fully extend overhead. Letting the stack snap up at the top, removing the slow return portion of each rep.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Selkälihakset. The Hauikset, Selkälihakset assist.
