The lat pulldown exercise is one of the best back exercises for building a bigger and wider back. You need a lat pulldown cable machine to perform this exercise.
The lateral pulldown is also one of the best exercises for channelling a mind-muscle connection with your back muscles - especially muscles like your lats.
This is a must in your back workout routine, and I recommend you do this at least 5 sets per week at the minimum!
