Alay Shah's video: Lat Pulldown Mistakes KILLING BACK GAINS

Exercise Tutorial 2: Lat Pull Down Episode 2: Targeted Muscle - Back (Lats) Tip 1: Keep your elbows in front while doing lat pull-downs. - As you can see, having them in a flared position activates more of the upper back. Your elbow, forearm, and wrist should stay in line. Tip 2: Don’t lean too far back when pulling down. - Ideally, at the top position, you should be completely vertical to get maximum stretch in your lats. Then lean back around 10-15 degrees and bring the bar to your upper chest. Tip 3: Don’t stop the exercise when you can’t complete a full rep anymore. - Do 3-4 partial reps in the stretched position, similar to what you've seen Sam Sulek do. - Bonus Tip: Use a neutral grip attachment with a thumbless grip to prevent excessive forearm engagement and get a crazy mind-muscle connection in your lats. Lat pull down is one of the best exercise for lats as a vertical pulling movement. Hope these tips help elevate your Back training in gym! Try this in your next back workout.
