  2. Sit down on the seat and grab the pulldown bar with an underhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  3. Keep your back straight and lean back slightly.
  4. Pull the bar down towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  5. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly release the bar back up to the starting position.
