For a toned, sculpted back, head to the cable machine: Pull-downs light your lats on fire. But busting out this exercise with improper form could lead to some serious issues with back strain down.Fix a cable station with a bar attached onto its pulley.
2. Hold the bar with an overhand grip of your hands at shoulder’s width apart. 3.Watch how to make simple D.I.Y. weights for home workouts: https://youtu.be/fShn8IBq3AQ For home workouts, watch how to do pulldowns with resistance band.While I agree that most machines do little to help you train in proper movement and strengthen the small stabilizing muscles, there are some that still have their place in a well-rounded training program.
One such machine is the cable or “lat” pulldown. Since it is technically a machine, I feel it just doesn’t get the love it deserves.The Lat Pulldown Rope How to make your own $5 Lat Pull-down rope (handles 700LBS) Duration: 2:11. MrInternet69 35,583 views.
Overhead Cable Tricep Extension Duration: 0:43.Use a cable machine with a lat pulldown attachment if you can. This way you can switch the long lat pulldown bar to a short straight bar. If you’re unable to change the bar, use the long bar, but keep the grip narrow.
Hold the bar with an underhand grip.To effectively target the lats during a pulldown, do the following: Use a pronated (palms away) grip. Pull to the top of the chest.
Use the grip (shoulder width or wider) that feels the most comfortable.How to do Resistance Band Lat Pulldown: Step 1: Grab the resistance bands with your palms facing out and down. Step 2: Get down on one knee with your hands up over your head and the resistance band taught.
Step 3: Bring your hands down and out to shoulder height and then let them back up. Step 4: This completes one repetition.Attach a straight bar to the high-pulley cable. Face the machine and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Extend your arms and reach up to grasp the bar with an overhand grip. Slide your hands apart until they are shoulder-width apart.Stand facing a cable stack with a straight bar attached to the high pulley.
Grasp the bar with a shoulder-width grip and step back a foot or two so the weight doesn’t rest on the stack. Begin with your arms extended with a slight bend in the elbows, the.Stand at an adjustable cable machine and grab the lat pulldown bar with an overhand grip that’s about shoulder-width apart.
Keep your knees slightly bent and feet shoulder-width apart. Exhale and pull the bar down to your thighs. Your arms should remain straight, elbows locked.Sit at a lat pulldown station and grab the bar with an overhand grip that’s just beyond shoulder width. Your arms should be completely straight and your torso upright.
Pull your shoulder blades down and back, and bring the bar to your chest. Pause, then slowly return to the starting position.If possible, use two rope attachments on the same cable so that you can use a wider grip and get an even greater contraction in the end position.
Another option is to use a band, which will increase tension in the end range of motion, helping you get a greater contraction at the bottom of the movement.Here’s exactly how to do the lat pulldown exercise safely and effectively: Set the seat height at a position that allows your thighs to rest comfortably underneath the support pads. Sit on the seat with your thighs underneath the pads to stabilize yourself and prevent your knees from rising up throughout the exercise.In this video Sal, Adam & Justin discuss the effectiveness of cable pulldowns and body weight pull-ups for building your lats.

CLICK THAT NOTIFICATION BELL SO YOU NEVER MISS AN UPLOAD!
Time to spread your wings Nation!!!
Could you do a (new) video on hitting all areas of the chest
I flex my abs tight doing this and I feel it hard core in my abs and lats
The only thing about this video is that he says to go up to chin level, it’s better to go higher and to lean into it a bit more because you get a much better stretch, hence more full range of motion. I lean a bit more and go to to top of my head for stretch. Talk about pump… Of course, if you have any injuries then you need to do what’s comfortable.
Im feeling my shoulders burning i think i got the form wrong
is there another way to target this muscle? because I only feel my triceps, I probably do not have big lats.
a bit more explanation of the muscles involved would not hurt…
This was 100% correct. Tilt the head back and keep the back vertical at all time.
Nice video! Strangely the lat pulldown is way harder for me to do correctly, than deadlifts and squats
Yea… the closer you stand, and keep your elbows tucked in, back straight and do this.. it’s much better
10 years later i am still this watching video thank you so much scott…
Omg when I 1st saw this guy I ABSOLUTELY HATED DESPISED N COMPLETELY LOATHED him! Mostly cus I’m a hater and he to me seemed too little. I’m 5’11 265 pounds so I just didnt think he knew nothing. Years later I’m still following and saw his b4 n after pics and am impressed with his scientific approach to building!!! I’m a Yuge Yuge fan now. I’ve gone through 4 major 360° back double fusion surgeries 4 knee surgeries 6 shoulder procedures and a penile reduction. Well watching his safe way of lifting has SAVED me $ on a trainer!! Glad I’m not negative anymore!!
I saw your vid while I was looking for proper tips on how to do a right way of lat pull downs. Thanks man. Starting my rehabilitation for my rotator cuff injury.
You can get best workout for 10 dollars, just look on Unflexal website.
I see you use chains as well, but I noticed you have some kind of cover for them to prevent damage to bars and rigs I assume. Where did you get that?
This exercise confuses me. Why wouldn’t you just bend the elbows and increase the weight? Seems like that’d be practically the same movement with regards to lats, but with the added benefit of keeping the triceps completely out of it.
chin level????? Are you not ment to stretch the lat out….Sorry but where is the muscle stretch?????
this video is not so clearly put, i got dick stuck in the toaster
The plastic on the cable I bought came off after a week of use. I don’t don’t know how you’re is holding up but this didn’t work for me.
And still he didn’t do the golden rule number three himself when showing all the other things
Dude, my gym instructor just tell me to do 3 set of that behin the neck pull down for a month. Fuck him
those who were nit athleanx followers, might not even get the joke… Only Jeff can make u casually learn the name of the muscles.. like u actually studied..
Hi Guys, check out this link to learn the perfect Wide-Grip Lat Pull Down https://youtu.be/Tzj4M603CkA
That pulley sucks. It has way to much resistance. You can hear it grinding away at itself. I tried a knockoff rock climbing pulley with a climbing rope and it’s the same but not as bad. Does anyone know of a smooth operating bearing pulley?
Tried this today for a couple of sets; initially I would feel it in my lats but as the set went on I would basically only feel it on my shoulders. Am I doing something wrong?
I know I’m late seeing this, but the only problem I have is. you didn’t show your actual back, but ty it was very helpful.
whenever i need help with any exercise whether it be the technique or just basically how to perform it you are the go-to-guy man. Great job you are doing there bro. Keep it up!
It’s better to do it kneeling for greater range of motion and more stretching
I swear your abs look just like athlean’s
Only a different body fat %
Another DIY idea… how to make a Cable Pulley system without a rack. But for real though if you got ideas plz. I’m needing cheap and don’t want to have to buy a rack.
What’s the purpose of that stance? I do that exercise standing away from the weights at a good distance but i keep my legs and back straight.
Can feel a good contraction but my elbows always hurt like fuack doin these. Amidoinitwrong?
I made one of these in my basement in junior high not complicated to do.
hi sir scott herman. i’m 19 yrs. old and i go to gym for almost 2 weeks already. i just wanted to tell you that my instructor tells me about what to do and how to do of every machine in the gym. But after seeing you and some of your youtube videos i realize that i should work by my own and not to listen to my instructor. I’m just a beginner and i have my routines thrice a week given by my instructor. Can you help me with your program sir coz i am already pissed with how my instructor tells me what to do that i realize it all wrong. Can you help me sir?
I like using the lat pull down bar for these to get a wider grip and really target the lats.
Hello everyone. Terrific vid. My dad was formerly a flabby. He improved himself from 284 lbs of pure fat to 213lbs of genuine muscle mass. I could not believe it! I just registered myself coz I’m seeking to get bigger muscle mass. He made use of the Muscle Building Bible (Look in Google)…
It would be a shame for you not to melt fat when normal people shed pounds easily using Stupid Simple Slimming (Google it).
Just started doing gym, and this was quite informative! Thanks!
The slightest change in your form can take the focus of this exercise our of your LATS and place more emphasis on your biceps and upper back. But after you watch this video you will know EXACTLY what to do to not only master the exercise, but build some serious muscle with it!
PUSH, PULL, LEGS PROGRAM BUILD MUSCLE & STRENGTH! http://muscularstrength.com/Push-Pull-Legs
5:25– 5:35 is that a dick joke? Pretty sure that’s a dick joke…
i seen a guy do it behind his back, I thought to myself F*** NO LOL
Thank You! This Video helped Me Tremendously!! I now understand how to properly do This Exercise!
This is some good stuff and I really neede this because I was doing it incorrectly, so thanks! Oh and that background music sounds like a porn intro
This video, actually did surprisingly help me with a better tip to engage lats more, because I have a hard time with mind muscle connection, when doin this exercise.
I’m older and don’t feel comfortable doing squats. Could you show how to build a vertical leg press?
Um, when did this guy develop an accent? He never spoke like this years ago.
shit I’ve been doing this standing up straight:/ is that bad?
What an annoying accent LOL. It got worse as the video progressed— but thanks for the info!
Dude…can i get your address or a PO box? I would like to donate a few t-shirts. Watched a few clips of yours and I am taken aback by your critical need of upper body wear.
I feel it at my triceps and not my back, am I doing something wrong?
I tried this exercise today but felt it mostly in the triceps?
great video! may I suggest an improvement? it would help much if you show an red “X” mark whenever you are showing something wrong, or a green check mark if you are doing something right. It will definitely help get your message across more effectively especially for those of us who are more “visual” learners than “audio” learners. Thank you!
Having a huge and strong back is one of the best things a body builder or a person in general could have. A solid back opens you up and allows full expression of your other muscles. And you look jacked + feel like the ultimate bad ass
Lol you’re not qualified to teach about lat workouts if yours are non existent
Anyone else get blisters from doing lat pull downs? Idk if I’m gripping it too hard or what.
Bonus #2 if you have a stumpy weird body like that, keep your shirt on.
@shahzebsaeed pffff I was not impressed. probably different standard
Great instructions detail, key points and demonstration thanks, Scott.
I thought I knew all I needed to know, thanks for demonstrating the key techniques.
“Squeezing the bah as hahd as you can”
I swear to god I tried to listen as I did the exercise but I ended up laughing
if you people will need to get ripped rapid without spending a single another minute in the gym, then you have to look at this video tutorial SIXPP.COMKompania mi się trafiła podjął Geralt, kręcąc głową. Towarzysze broni! Drużyna bohaterów! Nic, tylko ręce załamać. Wierszokleta z lutnią. Dzikie i pyskate pół driady, pół baby
This guy shouldn’t have so many followers he looks shitty. Underdeveloped as fuck
He’s Australian, but has a good American accent? I’m really fucking confused XD
Gonna try this. Whenever I do a regular lat pull down it feels like my left bicep is about to pop.
This guy is great. Finally back in the gym after a long hiatus and your videos have been great in learning proper form and technique. Great job bud.
Very helpful bro! Im gonna try that when i get back to gym
Can I do this with a loop in the ceiling and a resistance band?
1:10 actually try extending completely up to stretch and tear the fascia then bring it down similarly without rocking and try your hardest to touch your chest with it. BENDING back isn’t bad at all. The one arm bull is a good accessory to the lat pulldown.
I’m glad he addressed when the weight is heavier than you are great foresight man
I had to hook the baaaaa… just like everyone else in this comment section.
i remember watching this video a long time ago, never thought jesse would go on and become a wrestler and reality tv guy
Bro, this really help me out a lot with my back workout. Really appreciate for the tips and the videos you make!! Even though this video might from a year ago but all these efforts and tips will never be old!!
do you have an accent im confused. everything sounds american but your “ar”s sounds australian
So how on earth do i return it to the original placement when im short af
Thank you so much for this. I was doing it wrong so now I will try it the right way at the gym tomorrow
I really liked the idea of your elbows cracking a walnut between your ribs. Also lol that I’m YouTubing this at the gym
brilliant thank you for sharing this and helping people like me to use this even better. how many sets and reps would you recommend i was thinking 2 sets of 12 to 15. I’m subscribing thank you so much!
Well I’ll say one thing I know I was doing it wrong I just did what you said fuck me I felt it
Your videos are gold. I always seek insurmountable form from you Scott. Thank you.
This is so informative thank you so much! I love how you broke it down so easily!! Great Job!
Do we have to do 3 sets front and 3 sets back or 1 front and 1 back alternatively? Which is more effective?
Nice pants, where can I get them or what is the name of the brand?
Thanks this really helped. I was having a lot of issues feeling it in my back while working out.
few mention elbow placement in their videos, you do, BIG help-
for anyone reading the comments the form he is using is contracting his teres major if you bring your hands just a little closer to each other then you will hit the actual lat itself
Didn’t know that Denzel Washington was a fitness coach also..
2:45 I did not expect this bit of wholesome to be thrown in there
One of the best demonstrations out there on YouTube! Plus, brownie points for the “I love you” shout out to your wife!! Thanks a ton!
Could you please do a video on underhand lat pulldowns? Thanks again!!
I will not do this anymore as i hit the bar on my head too many times
thanks-good video. Do you have a link for a basic weight training program for an unfit 50-something woman, BMI 30, who will be working on her own?
Awesome video. Just recently I’ve noticed that when I do these I don’t feel anything in my last and it’s hard to correct myself because I don’t have a gym partner to inspect my form so this is helping me correct my deficiencies and maintain that range of motion to engage my lats
I try and do everything Jeff says, but I never know if I have the right form and if I’m doing it correctly
New Drinking Game: Take a shot each time Coop says ‘carabiner’!
It’s fun!
Everytime I do Front Lat Pulldowns I throw up . I wonder why???
Some clowns at my gym just let go of the bar and it smashes the weights down. I hate that shit and just makes them look moronic. It’s like dude you aren’t tough just because your workout is loud as shit.
Does anyone have any tips for keeping your back straight (neutral) during ANY type of workout?? Serious problem I have during any day at the gym, worried i’m gonna fuck my back up bc of this.
Nice! This workout is the same as Cable Straight Arm Pull Down right?
Why does the lat pull down work my biceps and not my back muscles
I bought all the products you stated and after 2 weeks of using it, the pulley burned the coated wire during a set and fell on me. The metal gets extremely hot during the sets. Any way around it?
Grip should not be tight. It increases the tension when the grip is normal
And also do not keep swinging your body backwards! I see a lot of ppl do that!
I’m going to do a video like this for my wife too,hey honey I love you
Thanks for explaining this to me/us. Subscribed!
Waiting for other proper form exercises too.
you look brazilian, you would pass unnoticed in my city natal
music in the background:
2:22 wooooahhhhh i just wana feel this moment
I only feel it in my shoulders? I’m doing everything right I just can’t get my back to feel anything
Haha that’s why I asked my wife if I could get a silicone rubber ring, especially for the gym and rock climbing ♂️
As a highschool custodian, who cleans a fitness room, yes, but the coated rope. The metal fibres clogged up my vacuum.
Can you do one for underhand lat pull down? This was very informative, thank you.
I hate my country, this will cost me over €80 to do. Fucking insanity.
Nothing about pulling the shoulder blades back and down first?
which back muscle does this hit (or mainly hit), lats, middle back or lower back?
and some fool on twitter asking me if I lift cause I said you should lean way back when doing these. Dick head.
ive seen so many at the gym doing this exercise with wrong form
i dont thnik a tight grip is essential people tend not to grip so hard because it m ight accidently activate too much bicep and forearm tension,i HOOK the fingers around the bar enough so it dont slip out,i want to work the lats not my arms
I do pull ups and my favourite exercise. One of the exercises I do is train with the lat pull down were I bring it all the way down to my waist. The reason is for muscle ups. Sick of people coming up to me telling me its wrong. The reason why someone is doing it “wrong” could quite well be they have a different objective than the norm
I’ve been getting a lot of requests to cover and review more budget-friendly home gym options; so, I’m listening! Expect some cool DIY stuff coming up…
Kind of want a diy reverse hyper where it’s just like a tall table and you just attach some weights to your ankle? Idk
I know ppl did that before reverse hyper became available to buy. How about diy very low stands to do floor presses.
Awesome video guys! Love these videos and the podcasts. So much knowledge!:) Quick question, you guys used an underhand grip and to my knowledge, I know it as a chin up. Is it just the same thing? Just want to know the correct terminology. 😉 Also, what do you guys think about using overhand grip for pull ups i.e. wide grip pull ups/ wide grip lat pulldowns? That’s what I’ve been using in my workouts to work on my lats. Keep up the great work guys!
For everyone saying they feel it in their triceps, lower the weight and get your mind muscle connection firing.
Hey Coop. Thanks for the advice. Went to Home Depot and everything worked out great! One thing I ended up doing a little differently was having the cable on a pulley a little shorter for standing tricep pushdowns. Then I created a cable extension a couple feet long that I could clip in for the lat pulldown on the floor. Thank you!
This is an excellent video.. thank you for that.. what is the part that is hanging on the top of your cross member, which was used to hang the pulley
Anyone looking to follow this buy a heavier duty cable, I’ve been using this one for about two weeks and plastic coating has ripped. I had been using oil to prevent friction so just a heads up for future ppl
What did you cover your chains with? It looks like some type of sleeve?
guys never lock the elbows, It will cause stress and may injure your tennis elbow
Im currently in the process of making this. I want to try this prior to investing the money in the Monster Lite Stinger attachment (400$)
Proper eating/proper training! That’s all it takes…. Oh yeah, and a lot of time! lol
But it’s not 25 bucks is it? You need a handle, a weight post and something to hang it off ♂️
What i did was use the door pull up bar and use those work out bands. For triceps. Works well.
Agree with your video bro check mine out also https://youtu.be/VcgCyE9Bk2k
watch this video quickly at gym definitely felt my lats working its a keeper
Great form and advice. I’m a 55 yo-Had cancer removal on back couple years ago so I need to do this right and move the tissue and muscle. Love all, short and to the point and the hook tip is key!
Does anyone know if this works on a cheaper power tower? Pls someone
I’ve had a home gym since I fell in love with weights at age 13. One thing I discovered by mistake last year. I had some spare cable laying around from God knows what. I made a triceps press down, put maybe 40 lbs on to test, and it felt like 90! The plastic protection on the cable was thick and that was biting down on the pulley… Absorbing the weight and not letting it roll. I had to go buy some with a very light coat of protection. Just wanted to make your viewers aware of this.
You can wrap black tape around the cable if it begins to fray.
I might be a weirdo for asking this question but this is the same machine that you use for the sitting pulldown just without the bech?
You can find nice Instructions on woodprix if you like to build it
Just did this myself, thanks for the diy tips (including the cut it yourself aircraft cable machine at home Depot haha). I use it with powerblock dumbbells so everything is kept compact
awesome vid
question, what is meant by “elbows to the ribs?”
thanks!
Thank you for a very helpful video! I was hoping to use it to do tricep pull-downs, and I want to connect/hang it to the hook on my heavy punching bag stand. It’s rated for 100 pounds, and I have a bag that weighs 100 that I really bounce around when I workout on it. Has anyone ever used their bag-stand for this purpose? If so, please let me know how it worked out for you! Thanks!

Do yourself a favor and upgrade that pulley as soon as you can. while that home Depot 420 lb pulley may seem strong enough we have broken one and galled the shaft on another.a much better bet is to use a snatch block sold wherever winch accessories for a truck is sold. They are much more durable and that equates to safe
I watch dozens of videos for health strength etc because i like to l;earn different ways BUT, think about how the great bodybuilders of the 40`s and 50`s like Steve Reeves and Reg Park etc grew their bodies without all of this knowledge, gym equipment and expensive supplements. Milk and raw eggs and hard work. SIMPLES
Any insight on how to make the height adjustable using the same weight stack? I’m thinking along the lines of a standard gym setup so you can vary the height between barely off the ground to above head, just can’t visualize how the pulley system would go.
I just did this following your video. The rack fell into me and took out my front teeth. Who is your lawyer and can we setup a call?
Just kidding. Great tip for those that doesn’t have the space for a lat machine.
What’s the name of the attachment at the top you use (instead of the chain or the rope)?
Maybe how to make a DIY rope attachment for face pulls? Thanks for the great content!
Just thought you should know Incase you haven’t already seen it, this company is using this video to advertise their own crappy product.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=146245353638386&id=105176924411896&fs=1&focus_composer=0
bro u can buy a attachment for like 100bucks or little less from rouge, if thats what ur rack is, I would get the actually attachment. they make the pulldown attachment for their rack
You can buy that complete system, with 2 handles, weight stack piece and better pulley for $50 on Amazon
That was a great share… How about adding pulley’s to do side lateral pulls?? Thank you
This pulley is junk, it isn’t smooth AT ALL and the squeak is like nails on a chalkboard. Tricep pushdowns with 20lbs feels like 80lbs
What’s up Scott!!! I been watching your videos for so long, and only now realized your accent. Where’s that accent most common at?
So after watching this video made the exact same pulley system for my home gym. Craziest thing happened! I was using lat pull down and noticed the cable looked weird looked at it closer….it MELTED and the pulley was very hot!!! no one else had this happen?!?!?
Why isn’t the weight post as part of the cost? At this point it’s about as much as the ones sold online
It’s cheap for a reason. That HD pulley is complete junk. I bought one a few hours ago and it will be returned tomorrow. After not even 20 pulls with 50#, the pulley was hot enough you couldn’t hold a finger on it. Not to mention it sounds terrible. The reason is this pulley has no bearing. It’s just rubbing on the attachment bolt
I tried making this. When I pull down there is tension but when im at the full concentric, there is no tension no matter how heavy I go. How can I fix this?
So arching spine is the main key to stimulate my lats? Having conflict to choose between hyper-extension and neutral spine, as hyper-extension seems more stimulating for me
Step 1, buy a bunch of tools and materials at home depot for $800 B)
U have like a video for everything, is this similar to the dumbbell pullover or Atleast as effective?
Thanks for making the video. I think it would work better if you used 90mm pull like the one used one gym equipment. You can hear yours making noise so I bet it does not roll very smoothly.
Yeah but don’t use those clamps, they require re tightening. Get a crimping tool and crimp it.
I’m a beginner in the Gym and I’m really shy thank you for this vid. Appreciate it.
This kills my lats. Really helps with the mind muscle connection. Now if I could just get something like this for my bench.
Great video thanks for making, although the WD in WD40 stands for water displacement.its not made to lubricate and over time creates a coating on your hardware which will gather and trap dust creating the need for more and more. For example you wouldn’t want to lube a bike chain with WD40 long term but you might want it to clean the bike chain. WD does make a product that lubricates, but don’t use WD40. I think it’s called lightning or something like that… “pro tip”. Cool video though I’m definitely going to do this.
It must be a hell to shave, trim, or wax his arm pits haha
3:35 those arm pits are in a hole
If you’re wondering where the femur and humerus line from the start of the video comes from, Allan Roberts quickly had exposed Vince Del Monte mixing them up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-vG-nCyYog
Speaking as a bald guy, no I hate your hair. Damn you AND your mighty follicles.
hi i made one of these, now wondering what exercises I can do on it, is there a good thread on all the things that are possible so I can make sure I’m getting the form right?
look how worked up he is from the amount of caffeine he consumes every day.
Best thing and only thing you need for training at home is resistance band set. Its simple to use, you can gain muscle easy and you save money on monthly billing at gym. I got my at trainhome shop (check on google) you can get there, they have more products to workout at home but for me only you need is band set.
yes i mean it. we must kill the bad fat and belly first to get the 6 pack. And One of my friend working in fitness field suggested me this 7 secret food items to kill our jelly belly. you can see it here bit.ly/11KUvHs?=ckdvx
Coated cable is much smoother. A ball bearing pulley is also better.
@:35 I made and used one (multiple as you stated) for almost 4 years. Every couple months I had to build another because the plastic wire cover would just melt off. I’ll have an updated video here in by end of day as to what I use now:)
The home depot pully suck ass compared to the lowes. version

Not bad, but I would still recommend the Archon Pulley over DIY. It’s not expensive, and you don’t have to do all this, and it’s very smooth and quiet. Had mine for 2 years and only used WD-40 on it once. Comes with a nylon loading pin and some strap handles. Highly recommend.
Is there a reason why my chest gets sore when I do these? I tend to feel it more in my chest than anywhere else
I’ve just started the video. I pray to God he doesn’t tear into this one. It’s one of my favorites
I actually tried the rocking variation for the first time and I never felt a stronger contraction on my lats. I’ve been training my lats for a few weeks before and even doing the rocking pulldown light I felt a little sore the next morning which I haven’t felt after the first week of lat training.
1) that intro was hilarious
2) for some reason my left lat is smaller than my right one. I mean they’re both small because I just started working out again after not being able to for a couple months but I wanted to know if I could fix that and make them more even
0:59 I see you have the same problem? Correct me if I’m wrong but from my point of view it also looks like your right lat is bigger than your left. Is it genetics? Is it diet? The way I (or I guess “we”) train maybe? What’s the problem and how can I fix it?
his explanations are so convoluted and all over the place. I hate these scientific assholes.
how is this such a popular channel? this guy is a goon. better off watching actual pro body builders. this guy sucks, try to make it all scientific. shut up
“Sometimes a little anatomy goes a long way. And when you can use it to your advantage…” Athlean-X IS anatomy lesson.
i did this and i looked as clown inti the gym. thank you mr jeff
Fucking idoit had to pause to stop laughing to watch the video Jeff’s awesome
Will lay pull downs help your pull up game? I just started doing calisthenics a month ago and that’s going to be my primary focus from now on
It’s been a long time since Jeff didn’t use “killing gains” in his thumbnail. Are you okay, Jeff.
I’ve used this equipment regularly for years.. I stretch up with it.. but don’t pull it down.. Fully stretched I gently twist my waist side to side.. to 20 counts.. that’s how I’ve gotten that ‘V’ look in my waist.. I Love this workout
Awesome idea. Funny though that your showing the cheapest way to do something while standing around 20 grand worth of equipment.
good video guys. I’m sure you will make a video on the different grips of pull ups and what each one offers. Pronated, supinated, neutral? I’m assuming all are still lat dominant movements regardless?
if i do this the conventional coaches and pros will laugh at me at the gym which will embarace me..but i really wanna do this
I did this exercise yesterday to failure and after a while my lower back was so tired i ended up having cramps for a while… Why is that?
I had an old machine I was certainly doing them wrong, I didn’t forward my elbows at all. Thanks for the tips, I listen to you because you look natty and not like a juicer.
Damn. Just putting my hands closer grip and doing it regularly was 1000 times better
Summary: The pulldown shown at 4:08 is a very effective way to train the lats. By doing a normal pulldown, you don’t have behind the body extension, which we need for maximal lat development. By doing the rocking pulldown, we get the vertical pulldown with abduction and adduction with the extension behind the body.
Correct form: 4:12
Difference between underhand and overhand grip pulldowns: So the main difference is that underhand pulldowns don’t get the abduction and adduction with an overhand grip pulldown, which limits development.
Common mistake: people lean back to get the elbow behind the body, but this takes tension off the back muscles to work many other muscles especially the rear delts.
Why this is important: You need to train the lats in every function that they have.
This guy doesnt have a clue what hes on about. after trying that first lat pulldown variation my hamstrings rivaled that of ronnie coleman himself
I just tried this and I’ve never felt my lats burn so good. Thanks as always sir.
I find your videos so misleading e very single video is a DONT DO THIS, DO THIS, GAIN KILLS, BIG GAINS, keep it simple go gym train with proper form and any exercise will be beneficial as long as it is performed correct.
2:01 I tried to find my lat muscle like that. It wasn’t there…
I m romanian and i feel sooo good when i hear romanian lat pulldowns
This exercise actually allows me to make the mental connection to my lats.
Halfway through the video and I’m still not sure if he is Australian or American
Such a waste of time. I wouldn’t recommend. Too lengthy and the final result: mehhh….
Cool vid. I cringe when I see some people at the gym lift and all they’re doing is using momentum. I’m all for exercising and to each his own but it just gets me.
“and it has a 420 pound working weight youre not gonna be pulling more than that…” cocky…
I was doing tricep pushdowns and a big ass dude came over and said I was doing it wrong and then started doing this workout…
Biggest tip use lifting straps so you have better form when lifting heavy make sure to do grip training when using straps
Wow!!! makes me want to get out and build one. Thanks for the info. Yes I am going to makethis, enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing
Love your videos. Question.. do you regularly perform the same exercises you show us to do? I tried the lat pulldown exercise @ 4:36 and my neck muscles on the left side are killing me days after! I went light with 10 pounds, slowly, and performed it correctly. I’ve never felt this soreness prior to doing this one exercise. Thanks
I am ecstatic I decided to watch this. Gonna get my home pull down game strong now
Do I just have oddly flexible shoulders? I dont need to lean back to get my elbows behind me, I just do a bit of thoracic extension so that my chest puffs out and I can pull both arms down and back. I definitely feel it in my lats and not my upper back.
Wrong, you want to let ur shoulder blade detach so letting ur butt rise little and with the rebound you want to pull down tension all the way down to spine to ur hip
Bare cables fray because everyone uses too small of pulleys. Use a 3″ pulley and that stops. The smaller pulley is going to shred that plastic coating on the cable too.
All these exercise you’re giving me a lot of fun that’s going to make me over train now
Wow great very informative nice to see you show us training the direction of our muscle fibers
Definitely what my gym instructor’s reaction whenever i do a new workout
i cant do 1 pullup but am quite strong on strict pulldowns and my back is my best body part so i d go with pulldown fo sho… on contrary my friend is very good in calisthenics but his back is mediocre at best… maybe its genetics but….
surrounded by $10s of thousands of dollars of equipment and you cheap out on the pulley anyway still inventive
Your video is very informative but there’s one problem your camera is not clear anuff that’s all.
I think on a back day starting with pullups for strength and then cable pulldowns for volume is probably getting the best of both worlds. Maybe a 5×5 of weighted pullups and then, two minutes later, a 3×10 of lat pulldowns (at a much lower weight, of course).
I don’t really like the pull down or the pull up, I much prefer the pull off
It would be the one you can do in the proper rep range from mass while using the proper form. Half assing pullups for sets of 5 using primarily biceps will not do much for your back.
These bozos don’t even know chin ups vs pull-ups. Zero credibility. I’m out.
Guys in jail doing shit reps all day still get yoked as hell….hahahahah
When you’re fighting, pulling the opponent down is actually much more important
Damnnnn, This is Funny as Hell.
Then very informative toooo.
To build your lats, would you say one grip is more optimal than the others? In the video where you pre-exhaust the last Sal used a supinated grip when doing the lat pull down, would you use the same for pull ups?
Love the vs series! Could you do a series/ep on working your way up to a full range pull up if you can’t even do one.
Nice video. I wish I could do pull ups. I’ve been doing negatives for months and I’m still not there yet, I just get better at negatives. It would be awesome if you could talk about how to build the strenght to do pull ups for those of us who can’t do even one.
This workout is absolutely great and should not be taken lightly.However, the instructor did not emphasize as to the need to slightly pull up the chest when the hands get near the hips.It would certainly be beneficial to know this detail. The workout still remain excellent and much appreciated.
your vids are among the greatest and most informative in the yt fitness community, keep up the good work.
Hey guys. Terrific film clip.
My dad was once an obese man. He went from 293lbs of fat into 200 lbs of total muscle mass. We think it is unbelievable! I just registered personally as I wanna strengthen. He made use of the Muscle Building Bible (Google it)…
Yes i mean it. even i was very sad since i workout well for abs but nothing was coming.Listen I heard that most of the celebrities used to follow to kill their belly using this 7 food items.you can watch out here bit.ly/17rBMom?=tfqrd
No, that is a pull down. a pull over is where you lay down on a bench with a dumbbell or barbell and literally pull it over from behind your head. dumbass.
Been there done that…30 years ago. Funny to see this idea come around again. I think the weight lifting magazines back then had diy shit it.
sure is right. even i was very sad since i workout well for abs but nothing was coming. btw!but ye I saw an interview with body building champion where he talks about 7 odd foods he eats to keep his abs hard. get to know here -> bit.ly/15PDjQO?=oowxg
Placing my thumbs over the bar changed the stress point from my biceps to my back. It’s a genuinely great tip!
Yes! Thank you! I just bought a rack and wanted to have a pulley system. However, I was appalled by the price of the Spud Inc one. I looked at each piece and was like…wth it’s just a cable and couple of pulleys. Came across your video today and was like THANK YOU!!!
@YogiBear13 NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..
WOW THAT’S HUGE!!! Jessy has great back seriously, that’s the back i want!!!
I thought scotty was wearing an ear ring but it’s just the mic
Always good to see some new information on an important topic.
when joe says spread ur lats and when he does it i was like wtf thats huge
