This exercise is a reversed one arm lat pull down. It focuses on one side the lats, biceps and even shoulders. If you were to lean back 45 degrees you would work the lats harder and would target upper and middle back, lats, rhomboids and trapezius muscles. Single arm allows more muscle fibers to work than both arms. It also allows your stronger arm from doing more than half the work. Theses are a must when you are a bodybuilder because for competition you’re judge and symmetry besides conditioning, muscularity and posing. Tries these outs on back or even shoulder day.

Reverse Grip Pull Ups
It took me forever to be able to lift my own weight repetitively. Once I was able to conquer the pull up I began to try out different variations. This is a Reverse Grip Pull Up. Just like the Wide Grip Pull up, the Reverse is a compound exercise for the back. It mostly concentrates on your latissimus dorsi, but it also works out the forearms, biceps, rhomboid, teres major, infaspinatus pec, erector spinae, and external oblique. The pull up is also a way to determine your muscular endurance for the upper body.
