Behind-Neck Pulldown

The behind-neck pulldown primarily targets the upper back and shoulders. However, it’s crucial to maintain proper form to avoid injury. A common mistake is pulling the bar too far behind the head, which can strain the shoulders. Instead, aim to bring the bar to the upper back gently. For those with shoulder issues, opting for a front pulldown is wiser. To adapt for different fitness levels, start with a lighter weight to master the form before increasing resistance. Using a controlled motion enhances muscle engagement and reduces the risk of injury. Always warm up properly and listen to your body.
