what does close grip lat pulldown work

The close grip lat pulldown is a multi-joint compound movement that targets the entirety of the back alongside portions of the shoulders and arms. It emphasizes the muscles of the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, teres muscles, and the trapezius. Specifically, it works the mid-lats and works on the traps (lower-middle), rhomboids, biceps, brachialis, and pectoralis major. The narrow grip mainly increases the thickness of the latissimus dorsi, while the other is to expand the width of the latissimus dorsi. Additionally, the close grip lat pulldown can also exercise the pectoralis major, mainly the middle part of the muscle, which helps shape and cultivate the chest line.
