Sit at the pulldown station with your thighs snug under the pads and grip the bar a little wider than your shoulders. Pull the bar down to the front of your upper chest with your chest tall, then let it rise all the way back up under control until your arms are straight.

3 to 4 sets of 8 to 12 reps, leaving 1 to 2 reps in reserve.
Set the thigh pads so your legs cannot lift off the seat, and pull the bar to your collarbone, not behind your neck. Lower the stack quietly between reps, and stand up to return the bar at the end of a set rather than letting it snatch upwards out of your hands.
