The Lat Pulldown is great for people just starting out.
I love this exercise - my lats have never been very strong. I couldn't even do two pullups when I was young.
This machine allows new lifters to start out with light weight and build up - plus it's safe. Please take the time and include it in your routine - we need strong backs as we age, folks. -- Craig.
