Bodybuilding (back, width).
Execution
A pulldown is not a strength movement — own that going in. Two or three warm-ups, then a working set of 10–12. Let the scapula travel up at the top, then pull and contract the lats down and in.
The cue that matters
Spread the scapula, then contract the lats. That is the whole goal. Get stronger in *that* form if you can, but never trade the contraction for weight.
Common mistake
Adding load by swinging the torso back each week — that moves more weight through better leverage; it isn't a stronger back.
