The difference between wide grip high pull-down and narrow grip pull-down

Although some movements look very similar, the two movements are actually different. Therefore, when we exercise, we should first understand how to do the movements, and master the differences and exercise effects of different movements, so as to choose the one that suits us the most. So what is the difference between wide grip and high pull-down and narrow grip pull-down?

What is the difference between wide grip and high pull-down and narrow grip pull-down

First of all, the movements of these two movements are different, because we hold the handles in different ways, so the hands are The force of the arm is also different, and the exercise effect is also different. If it is a wide grip pull-down, then we can more effectively train the chest because we need to use the force of our chest to complete the movement. But if we choose a narrow grip pull-down, then the movement can better train our back muscles. Therefore, the exercise effect and exercise method of these two movements are different.

If we are pulling the heavy objects down, our back is clamped backwards, so it has a good effect on our back training.

The above is the difference between the wide-distance and high-position pulling action and the narrow-sized pulling action. In this way, when we exercise, we can better distinguish the two movements and better choose the exercise that suits us, thereby achieving better exercise results.
