VIKINGOFTHOR's Tip Of Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown

Mar 3, 2010 3:18 PM: ok. To anyone wanting to build an in-depth, deeper striated, and wider back, YOU MUST START with Lats. A lat pulldown is an movement that not only wworks the Lats, but the biecps, middle back(rhomboids), Posterior deltoids, AND where people forget is the FOREARMS!

Start with a grip 2 inches below, either side, where bar is bent, so as you to perform the movement. If you notice the lat bar is shaped as a bracket lack that on a computer. That is for a reason. It isolates I believe, in my experience, the front/side part of your lat, giving it a meatier and awesome physique.

A great man once told me, 'A strong man has a strong back.'

Pull bar down to chine/mouth level with a SLIGHT bend in posture while sitting down. In other words have your back sitting in way like when your on an incline bench, BUT not leaning so far back.

*For All You Hardcore Weight lifters out there and Body Builders, I suggest NOT Using the seat which holds your knees in place. This acts as a counterweight to counterbalance the weight lifted by the whole contracted movement of a lat pulldown. IF you want to see moreresults, faster, Go Heavy W/O Seat. Make sure though it is a weight where you can do it with you butt on the seat, and not in the air. It defeats the purpose of lifting if you cheat this form. Do it heavy for 2-7 reps if you can. I guarantee anyone who tries this will see/feel immediate results ASAP, IF used correct.

*Note-Mix 'in the seat' reps, w/o seat reps. Changes your backs response to weights given and really confuses the muscle. I can only offer my experience as a guide to my knowledge. I am no personal trainer, but it'll work for anyone. I promise.-See Less
