The lat pulldown behind the head is a strength training exercise that targets the upper back and shoulders. This variation of the lat pulldown involves pulling the bar down behind your head, which can help improve shoulder mobility and upper back strength. It is important to execute this exercise with proper form to avoid injury.

1. Sit down on the lat pulldown machine and adjust the knee pad to fit snugly against your thighs to stabilize your body.
2. Reach up and grasp the bar with a wide overhand grip.
3. Lean back slightly and pull the bar down towards the back of your head while keeping your back straight and chest up.
4. Pause briefly when the bar is just behind your head, ensuring your shoulder blades are squeezed together.
5. Slowly return the bar to the starting position with control.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
