  • Pull the bar down close to your torso the whole time and keep your elbows pinned at your sides which will reduce your range of motion
  • Your wrists should be relaxed
  • Remember that the elbows should be pushed backwards behind the body when you lift the bar this will reduce the range of motion
  • Load up on the eccentric and really control on the way down for every single rep.

Deadlift

Maintain a tensed torso throughout the lift. Your back should be neutral throughout the lift, do not bend it at all. Your arms should be straight throughout the exercise. Your hips should lie between your knees and your shoulders at the starting position

Pull Down

The back muscles on the side are called Latissimus Dorsi or short your Lats, and they give the back its width. As the name suggests, this exercise mainly trains these muscles. There are lots of rowing exercises that train your lats, but the advantage of Pull Downs is that your lats are stretched out in the starting position. This is because the Lats muscle attaches to the arm bone and is stretched out completely when you lift your arms forward over your head. The path of movement for the muscle is thus long, which is good for muscle growth.
