BODYTEC PLATE-LOADED ISO-LATERAL LAT PULLDOWN

Pull the sky down. Build wings
 A cable-free, maintenance-light pulldown with independent arms that teaches proper lat mechanics and delivers a premium, plate-loaded feel your members notice on day one.

• Independent, converging lever arms with neutral-grip handles (comfortable wrist/shoulder alignment for stronger pulls).
• Pop-pin seat height on a chrome column with rebound spring for quick, repeatable adjustments.
• Dual extra-wide thigh/knee restraint rollers to lock the hips and keep the torso braced during heavy sets.
• Olympic (50 mm) weight horns on each arm for loading; additional plate-storage pegs mounted on the frame.
• Heavy, welded red chassis with broad feet for floor stability.

Biomechanics & Training Effect

• Movement path: Arced, converging pull—elbows drive toward the hips, promoting scapular depression/adduction (lats do the work, not the wrists).
• Joint friendliness: Neutral handles reduce glenohumeral internal rotation and biceps tendon stress common in straight-bar pulldowns.
• Strength curve: Lever geometry provides a strong mid-range with natural resistance drop near peak contraction for high-quality squeezes.
• Unilateral advantage: Independent arms allow balanced development, corrective work, and alternating or single-arm pulls.

Primary muscles: Latissimus dorsi, teres major, lower/mid trapezius, rhomboids.
Secondary: Rear delts, biceps/brachialis, spinal stabilizers and core (anti-extension).

Exercises You Can Do

• Bilateral iso-lat pulldown (heavy sets)
• Unilateral pulldown (right/left)
• Alternating reps or 1-and-½ reps for time under tension
• Isometric holds at the bottom + controlled eccentrics
• Mechanical drop sets (change seat setting/grip width minimal, keep tension)
• Partial reps in stretched or shortened range for lat focus
