How To: Standing Lat Pushdown (Cable Machine)

[barrettrifles]

it's for your serratus...

[Thisismynameffs]

@barrettrifles Why? Doing shoulder extension actually rotates the lower part of scapula so that serratus actually stretches during this exercise (it does a bit of exentric isotonic musclework though when returning the move and inhaling). Benchpressing with your shoulders only isolates Serratus Anterior

[Enanurri]

I do it a little more inclined..

[ScottyStudioSelect]

i often shart while doing these

[kkct7]

Does this exercise work your serratus anterior muscles?

[MrSwedishJesterhead]

I allways hit my cock

[twinmuscleadvises1]

Very nice technique, very nicely explained. Please sometimes add exactly what part of the muscle is trained. This particular excercise is for LATISSIMUS DORSI, very good for the V-shape back. This excercise is not any more "modern" but in the 60s and 70s it was a very big lats excercise, its results are better as some BIG excercises! So I am happy you are showing it!

[wadeNYC1]

Hi, isnt this excercise including triceps and therefor if i have a 2 day split routine in one for the back and other for triceps, i cant include this into my program?

[TheYouth112]

Did he just say "Hermination"?

[okailo]

I feel like I am using the triceps too much on this exercise. Am I using to much weight?

[eminence18]

@okailo hey probly too late to give advice on the lat pushdown thing lol. I've been struggling with it for so long until I just totally listened to my body and I lean forward a fair bit when the bar comes up to chin height. so when you bend forward a bit it's actually more like head height. I flex the shit out of my back tightening my butt and move slow on the negative with medium to medium light weight at first. if it doesn't feel right, it's probably not right so listen to ur body

[MrDrided]

This is a really good exercise for the back in my opinion, I just added it to my back routine today and I liked it a lot.

[Purp1eMonkey]

what excersize should i do if i wnat to train the muscles on the sides and right below my shoulder blade?

[UtopiaMinor666]

how do you lift suc hhevay weight without getting massively bulky?

[juanpablodt]

@UtopiaMinor666 genetics

[melodametal]

@UtopiaMinor666 and he also eats very very clean. He could probably be a lot bigger if he ate just a little bit more but i think his main thing is strength without gaining any fat whatsoever. he may just be an ectomorph. if thats the case i deeply congratulate him

[6reevesy9]

they're decent, and it crosses over to benching, helps you with your lift off.

[msfattytrollbitch]

this is good for the muscles that are on top of the shoulder blades

[mickchoa]

so can this be used to bulk up, end workout or warmup?

[LibertyWaxlips]

@mickchoa pump exercise for a light day or warmup exercise to activate your lats if you are arm-dominant in your pull ups or chins.

[slickaruta]

standing lats pushdowns trains also triceps so it ruins my benschpress workout, so no good for me

[TheLondonMuscle]

Love this exercise. It works even better if you keep you arms dead straight and you open your palms on the push down rather than grip the bar.

[Inferno0619]

this does work the triceps in any way, just worried that if i do this exercise wrong in even the slighest way that i'am going end up to worrking my triceps a bit

[benniturd]

@Inferno0619 You won't work the tricep if you keep your elbows out of it. Don't move them, let the back do the pulling. 

[AndrewSmith00000007]

Damn scott you have impressive body! I'm in the process of gaining muscle mass but nowhere near you.

[ekensou]

i want to fuck with you.... you are hot...

[mcadlad]

Hey scott u find this works the top of your tricep alot too, i do my back and tricep together and at the end this really brings the pain to my triceps.

[benniturd]

@mcadlad You're doing it wrong if it does.

[mrdave777]

Scott-I have to be honest, I like your videos. MY MAIN complaint is that damn introduction on every video. I know Ive been skeptical of you before, but in all honesty, your in better shape and can lift more weight. Respect!

[rosswick12]

scott what is a typical diet like for you.. breakfast, carbs, supps etc?

[JHONGOLDENARMS]

Exelente video muy bien explicado lo felicito Scott muchas gracias from colombia

[idolopinions3]

mmm that back is sooo yummy!!!

[hurrykaneecko]

umm would this work the front of the shoulders more?

[studboy66]

Why are you naked ?

[kopksa]

does that really help?

[Petahx3]

Love the camera angle exactly at 1:00 :P

[MehganFox]

great tutorial

[kisstube1]

i wish if i can workout with you scott ...you're the best

[BLONDASS123]

i find them useless, do you notice any muscle growth doing them ?

[ScottHermanFitness]

@BLONDASS123 I like to do them at the end of my backworkout.. I notice added strength

[MusclesBoyToy]

@ScottHermanFitness That brings to mind the concept of developing a workout and knowing which exercises are best as finishing movements.

[volli56]

@BLONDASS123

DUDE! i thought i was the only one who finds them useless lol!

[JulienMV]

@BLONDASS123 My trainer told me this exercise was used a lot by swimmers and it helps to have a larger back

[superherobyday]

@BLONDASS123 This exercise alone will not yield strength or size gains in your lats. But is still very useful. It is more of a warm up to allow you to target your lats in other exercises. After some light/moderate sets of this, move on to your lat pulldowns, and you will really feel exactly where the work needs to come from when using proper form. That way you can place all the emphasis on your lats, (and not your biceps) because you will actually FEEL them.

[Iamyass]

@BLONDASS123 You just got to find out which exercises work best for you, it's different for everyone and depents on your goals

[dan7edan7e]

@BLONDASS123 Dorian Yates used to do them. I dont think they are useless. Not a core exercise obviously, but works your lats specifically quite good. But you need to focus on the muscle you are training, i.e. lats, not on the form of the exercise or the weight. Then you ll like it.

[SOULJAJOE010]

@BLONDASS123 if you cant do anything over 12 times.... its uses a musclem so yes you derp

[luis182117]

I know this works the lats but which part exactly does it work? The upper or the lower lats?

[ScottHermanFitness]

@luis182117 you feel this mor in the middle toward the top.. its awesome!

[knewok]

@ScottHermanFitness i get acrazy burn in my abs while doin this does that mean im doin it wrong? i kinda like the fact that it works my abs too

[jconn08tex]

any trap workouts Scott???

[tamayn]

It's always good to have more lat exercises. Can you recommend any that can be done without a machine?

[IKI11I]

@tamayn pullups=#1 lat exercise

[REDRAGON12345]

This is a great exercise, and its funny how you dont see many people doing this at most gyms...
