Lat Pulldown Mistakes (KILLING YOUR GAINS!)

Lat Pulldown Mistakes that is killing your back gains!

[bdog]

Letting your shoulders come up at the very end is full range of motion and actually stretches your lats at the top. It also allows your lower traps to be worked significantly more since you have to pull your shoulders back down to do the next rep. It's just a variation

[SamStanley-]

Releasing your shoulders allows full stretch of the lats which is pretty much the most important fact in building muscle

[mrp]

That second one is full rom maximum stretch of the lats. Constant tension and maximum retraction and contraction are two completely different things.

[ladies_man.]

Nothing wrong with your shoulders going high. Plus the tension wouldn’t really “go away” considering you’re using a cable machine. Hope that helps

[IHeArTrOcK]

A slight lean back will also get more engagement and ROM

“ dropping your shoulders UP, like this. “

Such an educational video! Great stuff Hanna thanks for the useful tips. One of the biggest things that have helped me build muscle aside from spending time in the gym has been a custom meal plan from Next Level Diet. I use it every week and I love it!

[elder_millennial_Fboy]

but if he's a big dude, how could it be doing it wrong? you know... he's big. It's working

[aryannaramirez]

Waiiiit this makes more sense now I was dropping my shoulders because I thought that would give me full range of motion

[Toneymoney]

As long as your going to the gym repetitively, don’t let the content criticizers deter you from working 💪🏾🙌🏾

[Khankhan-hvlk]

Thanks for the excellent advice. This is a mistake I've been making. Thanks to this video I've corrected my mistake. Keep up the good work.

[evanrogoff]

Perfect explanation, I hope others use this. Game changer for me personally. Chest up, imagine you pull with your elbows

[steveffuksake]

If you see a big dude lifting a lot of weight means he is doing it right 😂

[Jason_Cunts]

And yet everyone else with actual knowledge knows that stretching your lats out at the top is key for growth in any lat exercise.

[CorvoFG]

Excellent. So many people don’t actually engage the lats at the top. They seem to think that the exercise does it for them!

[bipi]

Thanks been avoiding this excercise because i was afraid of doing it wrong 😢🎉

I actually just halfed my dumbell weight on my arm curls so I can preserve form. Helps against injuries too.

[rickstaaa]

Very Helpful! I for sure have been releasing my shoulders in previous workouts...

[Youssefmohamed-iecy]

finally someone explaining it smoothly

thanks

[stopjockin]

ABSOLUTLY INCORRECT!!!

I let my shoulders come out as FAR as possible to get a tremendous stretch, and then tremendous contraction in my lats.

Right now as I type this, my lats are SOO sore from Mondays lat session. ALL from letting my shoulders come out as far as they could go. And this also goes for rowing movements.
