Unilateral Diverging Lat Pulldown — Legend Fitness (6005)

Legend Fitness 6005 Unilateral Diverging Lat Pulldown – The Legend LeverEdge lat pulldown machine was designed to utilize proper biomechanics allowing full range of motion and contraction of the lats for maximum results.
Lat pulldowns are known for building a wide, thick back and are frequently performed by those sporting and impressive lat spread. The 6005 lat pulldown by Legend combines the convenience of a selectorized lat pulldown machine with the added effectiveness of both unilateral
and diverging plate loaded action.

How does a unilateral lat pulldown outperform a selectorized lat pulldown? Deciding between a selectorized lat pulldown and plate loaded unilateral pulldown can be a tough decision for some. However, with a little education we think the advantages that the LeverEdge 6005
offer are large and clear. Lets first look at the range of motion that each provides. A lat pulldown that utilizes a lat bar to hoist a weight stack up and down on chromed guide rods allows the user to pull the bar as far as the neck or traps. A unilateral machine increases the range of motion with its independently moving handles
which helps increase the contraction of the lats and allows the negative to begin at a lower starting point. The unilateral movement of the arms allows the lifter to perform bilateral pulldowns, just like a selectorized machine, while exposing any dominant side that may be present. Alternating one arm lat pulldown capability
is perhaps one of the most obvious differences between the two and adds effective versatility to back training. To the heavy lifters delight, stacking up to nine Olympic plates on each side means heavy workouts and big gains. And for the club owner, maintenance on the LeverEdge line is simple and easy with the absence of any stacks, cables, pulley wheels or guide rods.

As is typical with all Legend Commercial Gym Equipment, the LeverEdge line is no exception to the overbuilt engineering used during production. Each machine utilizes big 11 gauge structural steel that, with the exception of four heavy-grade bolts, is fully welded
for unsurpassed performance and longevity. Both arms work in conjunction with industrial grade pillow block bearings for smooth lat pulling action that will take any amount of weight you give them and a whole lot more. Seat padding and thigh rollers are made from super-dense foam that has a firmness rating
of an impressive 8 lbs. per square foot. If you want to build a shirt-busting back with the feel of using free weights while utilizing the added benefits of a machine, the Legend LeverEdge line of equipment should be considered for any environment.
