Single Arm Lat Pulldown

BeginnerCable

Working one arm at a time on the pulldown lets you chase down side-to-side imbalances and stretch the lat through a bigger range than the two-handed version. Pulling single-handed also forces your core and obliques to fight rotation and keep you square. It's a demanding but effective way to build balanced back strength.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Attach a single handle to the high pulley and grip it overhand with one hand.

  2. 2

    Sit tall and tuck your thighs under the pads to anchor yourself.

  3. 3

    Brace your core to hold a neutral, stable spine.

  4. 4

    From a fully extended arm overhead, pull the handle down toward your ribs, leaning back slightly.

  5. 5

    Return the handle up under control to full extension, finish your reps, then switch sides.
