The Cable Pulldown is an essential mainstream Back exercise and one unlikely to be done at home (unless you are lucky enough to have a suitable home-based cable machine).

When I have a Back day, I always begin the workout (after my warm-up routines) with some Cable Pulldowns: narrow (Neutral) Grip, Wide (Supinated) Grip, and Straight-Arm (Pronated) Grip.

The Narrow Grip Pulldown is ideal for warming up the Back muscles with lighter weights and high reps, before some heavier work.
