The Close-Grip Pulldown is excellent for targeting the lower lats and biceps. Common mistakes include using too much weight, which can lead to improper form and potential injury, and pulling with the arms instead of engaging the back muscles. To optimize benefits, focus on a slow, controlled movement and squeeze the shoulder blades together at the bottom. For beginners, start with lighter weights to ensure proper form. Advanced users can increase weight or incorporate pulldown variations. Always maintain a neutral spine and avoid leaning back excessively.
