TARGETS: Upper Back
Select desired weight. Grip the high pulley handles with palms facing each other and go to your knees while holding the handles.
From this start position, contract your upper back muscles and pull the handles down in front of you while keeping elbows tucked to the side of your body.
Pause for a moment, then slowly return to start position.
Repeat exercise movement for as many reps as possible.
The APOLLO selectorized weight stack and pulley system has been designed with user safety in mind. In order to select the weight amount you want to use, please follow these instructions.
With one hand lift the clear plastic weight stack shield all the way up and with the other hand pull the pop pin out from its security track and slide it up or down in the track to select the weight amount you want to use.
Once you have selected the weight amount you want, release the pop pin and make sure it is completely seated in the weight stack hole that you’ve picked. Lower the clear plastic weight stack shield all the way down.
This will unlock the weight stack for use. While the weight stack shield is open both the high pulley and low pulley cannot be moved as they are locked.
The upper back pull down, performed on our high pulley station on our Apollo multigym, is a fantastic exercise to strengthen the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back, which promotes good postures and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results. The upper back pull down can be performed with your own body weight against the cables, or with weight.
