Bodyweight alternatives such as pull-ups or chin-ups are great options for those who want to work out at home or don’t have access to a gym. Machine alternatives like the high row machine or cable row can be effective in targeting the same muscles as a lat pulldown machine.

If you don’t have access to a lat pulldown machine, several exercises can give you similar results. If you can do pull-ups or chin-ups with good form, these two exercises are a great way to work your back, shoulder, and arm muscles.
