[poonageguy]

@stzebi You usually work that out yourself but 3-5 sets is what i'd say is average

@ apourv1991 Lat pulldown is a back strengthening machine and helps a lot when done correctly. use less weight and more reps with controlled movements, like in the video. however, if you're training for sports explosion and power, bring the bar down as quickly as you can, but as you return the bar to the starting position to start another rep, bring it up slowly, like 3 seconds at least. yu follow what im saying?

[apourv1991]

Lat Pulldown is not a power machine, I guess.Hence I always use 1 plate less, and do more reps. This seems better, because for a heavier weight, pressure comes on my arms, and less on my back. But will doing more reps @ smaller weights help to increase my power??

Please correct me if I'm wrong anywhere?

Ideally inhale on pull phase ....plus cervical extension is coupled with hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine (lovett reactor) In other words you shouldn't look up unless you want to eventually live with pain

i see some people pull down but they move it down so it touches the back of their neck is that wrong cos i tried it out and it didnt feel right to me please let me know thank you. i usually do it the way you have shown.

[TheTomtah]

@sf2explus That's just a different excercise targeting slightly different muscles and there is nothing wrong with that exercise.

[Saamrth]

I had a question pls answer it

when i do lat pull down my lats are not sore but my inner triceps are very sore

am i doing something wrong i like to keep rep range around 5-10

[Sullysaccount]

@Saamrth Yea as this is a pulling exercise it puts strain on your arms so your bound to feel strain on your arms your lats should hurt the day after make sure you've got form and weight right and your forms correct i had trouble getting my form right to get the most out of this exercise

[TheOneMetallica1]

This isn't an exercize for your back, its for your lats.

[titans091052]

@TheOneMetallica1 um...where do you think your lats are located? lol

[TheOneMetallica1]

@titans091052 Yah I know it was a joke

[titans091052]

[TheTwistOFate]

@TheOneMetallica1 Are you stupid? Your lats is a muscle group on your back
