pull-downs

Cable machine movements

Pull-downs are exercises where you pull weight downward, typically on a cable machine while seated: lat pull-downs for back development.

In computing, a pull-down menu drops down from a menu bar when clicked, revealing options.

Pull-down can also describe window shades or screens that retract upward when released.
