Pull workout: Lat Pulldown, Seated Cable Row and 3 more

A pull day of 5 exercises and 15 working sets, built by a SPLYT user and published without their name. It takes about 35 minutes and uses cable, resistance band and bodyweight.

Most of the work goes to the lats (7 sets), biceps (3 sets), upper back (3 sets). It opens with lat pulldown and finishes with band vertical pallof press.

2 of the exercises are paired as supersets, done back to back before resting, which keeps the session shorter.
