RussianAbout this machine
Pulling machines train the back on a defined path and make it easier to learn shoulder-blade control without swinging the torso. Vertical pulling is closer to a pull-up, while horizontal pulling is closer to rowing; learning both gives a more balanced programme.
Muscles worked
- Main load: Back.
- Stabilization: trunk muscles help hold position.
- Should not hurt: joints or lower back. If they do, reduce load and check setup.
How to set up
- For the Pure Kraft Lat Pulldown Dual, first check its source-listed detail: uses moving or rotating handles.
- Adjust the seat and thigh hold-downs so the body does not lift during the pull.
- Choose the grip that matches this machine's movement.
- Start with the arms extended without losing shoulder-blade position.
- Use the chest or torso support when the model provides one.

- On the Pure Kraft Lat Pulldown Dual, move smoothly through this model's working path.

Common mistakes
- Leaning back to move the weight instead of pulling with the back.
