Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Cable Standing Lat Pulldown.
The cable standing lat pulldown is performed standing in front of a cable machine, pulling a bar or handle down toward the chest. The standing position challenges core stability and requires more body control than the seated version, while still effectively targeting the latissimus dorsi.
The Cable Standing Lat Pulldown is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
