Name: Plate-Loaded Iso-Lateral Wide Pulldown

The Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral Wide Pulldown is built to train powerful pulling mechanics from overhead—a movement crucial to both athletic performance and functional strength. The unique arc of our workarms mimics natural human movement, rotating back, up, and out to reinforce a wide, controlled pull.

Whether climbing, grappling, throwing, or just trying to build strength that transfers beyond the gym, this machine trains the kind of overhead control and power that shows up where it matters most.

A Squeeze Like No Other

This isn't an average lat pulldown. The unique arc of the workarms—pulling back, up, and out—forces a deep contraction at the peak of the rep, training the kind of squeeze that makes a difference when pulling, climbing, or bracing under load. It’s not just range of motion—it’s control and power through every inch of it.

Compact Yet Complete

Space doesn’t limit performance. The Iso-Lateral Wide Pulldown delivers full-scale back training without taking over the floor. Its smart, compact footprint makes it ideal for tight training spaces while still offering the freedom of independent movement and unilateral training.

FAQ

The Iso-Lateral Wide Pulldown uses a unique back-up-and-out pulling path that places more emphasis on the upper and outer back, creating a deeper squeeze at full contraction. In contrast, the Front Lat Pulldown features a more traditional downward path, emphasizing the lower lats and a more vertical pull. Both are effective, but this Wide Pulldown targets a slightly different part of the back with a distinct feel.

This machine uses an underhand grip, which promotes a more natural range of motion for the shoulder and elbow joints. It also helps better engage the lats while keeping tension on the target muscles throughout the lift.

Our Iso-Lateral Wide Pulldown is great for anyone looking to strengthen their pulling power—from athletes who sprint, swim, grapple, or climb to everyday lifters focused on total back development. Its path of motion and squeeze make it a unique addition to any strength training routine.

Yes. The Iso-Lateral Wide Pulldown is designed with a compact footprint, so it delivers full-scale back training while conserving floor space—perfect for facilities looking to pack more performance into less square footage.
