Workout der Woche: 25 Min. Pull-Kraft-Workout

16th Juni 2025

ALL LEVELS / pull strength workout / 25 minutes

Equipment: Lat pulldown machine, seated row machine, dumbbells, preacher curl machine, cable machine

After last week’s push workout, following up with a pull workout made sense. If pushing is about moving something away from you, pulling is like opening the fridge door — using strength to bring something closer. That’s why pull workouts focus on the muscles responsible for those motions: the back, biceps, and forearms.

Those are the muscles you’ll target in this pull strength workout. It includes 5 exercises, performed over 3 rounds with decreasing reps — 12, 10, and 8 — as the weight increases. Take 1 minute of rest between each exercise and each round. The whole session should take around 25 minutes to complete.

  1. Lat pull-down
  2. Seated row
  3. Dumbbell bent-over row
  4. Preacher curl
  5. Cable bicep curl

WORKOUT EXERCISE LIST

3 rounds

1 – LAT PULL-DOWN

12, 10 and 8 reps

  • Adjust the pad on your legs to reduce the movement.
  • Grasp the bar above your head with a wide grip. Keep looking forward with your torso upright.
  • Engage your shoulder blades, then pull the bar down before you, at upper chest level.
  • Squeeze your lats at the bottom of the move and avoid leaning back too much to facilitate the movement.
  • Slowly return up and repeat.

2 – SEATED ROW

12, 10 and 8 reps

  • Adjust the seat so the handles are level with the top of your shoulders.
  • Set the chest pad so you can reach the handles with your arms extended.
  • Grab the grips (narrow or wide), pull the handles toward your sides, and squeeze your back muscles.
  • Slowly return to the starting position without letting the weights touch the stack.
  • Repeat.

3 – DUMBBELL BENT-OVER ROW

12, 10 and 8 reps on each side

  • Place your left knee and left hand on a flat bench for support, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
  • Hold a dumbbell in your right hand, arm fully extended toward the floor, palm facing in.
  • Pull the dumbbell toward your waist by bending your elbow and keeping it close to your body.
  • Squeeze your shoulder blade at the top, then slowly lower the weight back down.
  • Complete your reps, then switch sides.

4 – PREACHER CURL

12, 10 and 8 reps

  • Sit and adjust the seat so your upper arms rest flat on the pad and your armpits are just over the top edge.
  • Grab the handles with an underhand grip, arms fully extended.
  • Curl the weight towards you, bending your elbows and keeping your upper arms on the pad.
  • Squeeze at the top, then lower the weight back down slowly.
  • Repeat.

5 – CABLE BICEP CURL

12, 10 and 8 reps

  • Stand tall facing the cable machine with a straight bar attached to the low pulley.
  • Grab the bar with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
  • Keep your elbows close to your sides and curl the bar toward your shoulders.
  • Squeeze your biceps at the top, then slowly lower the bar back.
  • Repeat.
