  • Search "Proper Lat Pulldowns with Matt Neumann" for the right way to do "lat Pulldowns."

  • 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....

    You are the Norm Crosby of personal training!

  • 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....

  • when u lean back ur putting unwanted stress on ur lower back...which is why lots of ppl who body build end up having 2 go 2 the chiropractor...

  • 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

  • yes you do lean back.

    look at your anatomy book my friend.

    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 :)

  • OMDDDDD thanks alot dude, i can actually feel it target my lats for once not just my biceps. cheers.

  • 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)

  • your supposed to lean back a bit
