Why do you not correct the opening of your video? You misunderstand that when someone says "lat pulldown" they mean Lattismus dorsi pulldown. The only thing that has in common with "lateral" is the first three letters of the words. That's like calling a bench press a PECker press, or a stomach crunch an Abominable crunch... or a bicep curl a bicycle curl....
Problem number 1: "Lat" Pulldown does not mean "Lateral". There is in fact, nothing "lateral" about this exercise. Get that right, then start instructing people.
this guy is a retarded idiot and of course injury will occur if someone continues to do it his way...
another problem with this 'stance' is that there is no full range of motion
the full range of motion has to be from the point where your arms are stretched and your shoulders in front , your bach is stretched (but contracted) and you first have to take your shoulders back before pulling your elbows behind you....
the pad is not used unless your bodyweight is lighter than the stack, it has nothing to do with how tall you are. it is there to anchor yourself when you start to pull more than your bodyweight, this is just a little about the mistakes in the video. Better luck on your next try :)
The irony of this is that the criticisims of this video are ones that dont vibe with "bodybuilding/gym science" thinking. Meanwhile, missing out on the 1 true crucial error in this demonstration.
It would be pointless to share any "true science" info w some of you, because you would probably want to know what I bench press to gain any validity to what I would say anyways.
I guess you have to be big like Yates/Coleman to know how to do an excercise correctly. (or, infallable also)
I put a inch of muscle on my back by leaning back about 20 degrees and mixing it with bar bell rows... dorian yates styles.. and you have to swing to get out the last few force reps.
What amazes me is the fact that it is a response to saying that Coleman is doing his techinque all wrong. Last time I looked the author of this video is neither a pro bodybuilder or world champion. I don't give a rat's ass if he is a personal trainer or not. Given you should teach beginners to sit upright and shoulder width grip. As time goes by a slight swing can be used to move the weight forward. Strecthing is essential in this movement as is squeezing the lats at the bottom of the movements
Ronnie coleman works in cheating for some reasons - but some begginers think they were born the strongest guys on earth and try to lift more than they're capable of
Haha I love how people try to correct others by teaching them something wrong. As mentioned, this is not a "lateral pulldown". Second, just because the picture on the machine shows the person sitting behind it awkwardly straight, doesn't mean you have to follow it. You shouldn't swing, but you do lean ever slightly back
Error N2 you should swing slightly and correctly to perform at your best. The first quarter of the movement you work the biceps and forearms. The last tree quarter you work the back. So you should swing slightly and correctly to put your arms at a quarter of the complite movement.
Error N1 your girl friends hands are to close. The closer they are, the more you work the biceps. What you want is to isled the back as much as possible.

yes you do lean back.
look at your anatomy book my friend.

This form was alright, but you should stretch the lats as your coming up, and bring it to the chest.
