Adding a high pulley cable machine to your home gym will open up a whole new world of resistance exercise. Not only will you be able to blast your back with lat pulldowns, but tricep pushdowns, cable curls, upright rows and a whole host of other constant tension moves will be within your grasp. The quality on offer, however, is decidedly mixed. In this article we discover the top Lat Pulldown machines on the market.<\/p>\n

The best lat pulldown machine on the market today is the Powertec Fitness Lat Machine<\/a>  which has a slimline design built into the machine, allowing the set to be locked into position or pivoted outward.

Lat Pulldown Benefits<\/span><\/h2>\n

The lat pulldown machine is a multipurpose unit that will bring the benefits of cable exercise into your home gym. As well as the basic lat pulldown, you’ll be able to do such exercises as triceps pushdowns, cable curls, upright rowing and seated rowing. This allows you to stretch, contract and expand the muscles of your upper body in a way that you can’t get with free weights.<\/p>\n

A major benefit of doing cable resistance exercises is that they provide you with constant resistance in both the positive (lifting) and the negative (lowering) portion of the exercise. That allows you to place a lot more tension on the muscle through the entire range of motion. Using cables also forces you to follow the proper line of motion when doing an exercise, so you can’t cheat your way through a rep.<\/p>\n
