Lever Cable Rear Pulldown
A cable machine pulling exercise performed using a lever or specialized bar attachment while seated or standing. Grip the lever with both hands and pull it down toward your chest by driving your elbows downward and back, focusing on squeezing your shoulder blades together. Control the return to the starting position to maintain tension. This variation emphasizes the muscles of the upper and mid-back, improves posture, and enhances pulling strength with smooth, consistent resistance.
