Powerful lat pulldowns with a wide grip

With a wide grip you put the emphasis on the latissimus dorsi, the large back muscle that creates that V-shape. The ergonomic grip angles of the Pro lat bar keep your wrists in a natural position, which makes the difference as you build up the weights. You attach the bar to your cable station and pull in a controlled way towards your upper chest, with full attention to the squeeze of your shoulder blades. Alongside your lats, your trapezius, rhomboids and biceps also join in.

Good to know

The Pro lat bar works with a cable station or lat pulley; the resistance comes from your machine. It is a wide bar, so set aside enough space above and around your station. If you would rather be able to switch between a wide and a neutral grip, then take a look at the Ergo lat bar with double grip position.

Frequently asked questions about the Lifemaxx Ergo Pro lat pulldown bar

Which muscles do I train with this lat pulldown bar?

With the wide grip you mainly train your latissimus dorsi, the large back muscle that gives your upper body width. In addition, your trapezius, rhomboids and biceps join in during the pulldown. The ergonomic grip angle keeps your wrists comfortable. This way you build a wide, strong back in a targeted way.

What makes this a pro bar?

The Pro lat bar is built heavy-duty and made for intensive use in studios and serious home gyms. The ergonomically shaped grip angles provide a natural arm line and direct lat activation. This keeps the grip comfortable, even during heavy pulldowns. It is a bar for those who train their back regularly and with focus.

Do I need a cable station?

Yes, the lat pulldown bar works with a cable station or a lat pulley. You attach it to the cable and set the resistance on the machine. Without a cable station the bar cannot be used. Bear in mind that you need enough space above the station for the wide bar.

What is the difference from the Ergo lat bar double position?

The Pro lat bar has a fixed, wide grip that is fully aimed at lat width. The Ergo lat bar double position offers two grip positions, so you can switch between a wide and a neutral grip. If you are after simplicity and a wide pull, then the Pro lat bar makes sense. If you want more variety in one bar, then take a look at the double position.
