Exercise Instructions:

Setup for the overhand close grip lat pull by attaching a small straight bar to the machine (you can use the wide grip bar if you prefer), setting the weight on the stack, and adjusting the knee pad. Grasp the bar with an overhand grip, hands around 10-12 inches apart. Sit down on the machine with your arms fully outstretched. This is the starting position. Keeping your back and body straight, slowly pull the weight down to your upper chest. Pause, then slowly lower the weight back to the start position. Do not let the stack drop. Repeat for desired reps.

Tips:

Pause for a count of 2 at the bottom of this exercise and squeeze your lats to add intensity. Don't lean back when you pull the weight down, this is cheating!
