Lat Pull Down

Lat Pull Down Lat Pull Downs are one of the best exercises to strengthen your back. Many lifters often overlook back exercises and focus rather on chest and arms; but a strong back is just as important and is necessary to have a strong chest. After all the back is responsible for the downward movement in bench press.
Description
  1. Grasp the bar with a wide grip. (Roughly six inches wider than shoulder width)
  2. While slightly leaning back pull the bar downward and touch the chest.
  3. Let the bar rise upward to its original position. Control the bar, do not let the weight slam down.
Things to Keep in Mind
  • Maintain your form! The later reps get particularly difficult in this exercise. Maintain the slight back lean.
  • The upward motion is just as important as the downward motion. Maintain control throughout.
Visual Aids

Proper Form
Muscles Works Latissimus dorsi, Teres major, Middle trapezius, and Rhomboids.

Miracle On Ice #2 USA Hockey

The USA hockey team has been more then fantastic these winter Olympics but they have also remained quiet this past week, even with a win over Canada which is one of the favorites for Gold this year.

The USA team beat them handily with a 5-3 win over our neighbors to the north on their own ice I remind you. The USA team also has two victories over the Norway 6-1 and Sweden 3-1. Showing that this US team is for real and it would be a disappointment not to metal. With those victory’s the United States got to face Switzerland today.

The Swiss put up a hard fought game but the US capitalized on a power play early in the 3rd with a goal from Zach Parise. Parise later sealed the game with less than a minute left with a goal on the open net.  The 2-0 win has put the Americans in the semifinals. The next match up will be between either Sweden or Slovakia. The United States will be favorites in there next match up. Canada would be an ideal finals game but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Keep a closer eye on this USA hockey team because this could become special. For more to read and highlights click here.
