What is a Lat Pulldown?

A lat pulldown is a cable machine exercise where you pull a bar from overhead toward the upper chest. It mainly trains the latissimus dorsi, while the biceps, rear delts, and upper back assist through the movement.

Example Calculation

If you do 36 total reps with 120 pounds, the calorie calculation is:

C = 120 * 36 * 0.003238315 = 13.99
