Lat Pulldown Variations
LAT PULLDOWN VARIATIONS
Lat pulldowns are one of the most popular back exercises. There are tons of different attachments and grips you can use and while there will be overlap of the muscles hit between all of them, you can emphasize different areas.
A wide overhand grip hits the teres major and teres minor. An overhand middle grip shifts the focus to the middle lats. An underhand grip emphasizes more lower lats and biceps. A v bar grip targets the middle and lower lats.

Thank you
Mind you that any of those varioations hit those muscles but with more focus on said parts, these arent isolation exercices, also the very wide one also hits lower traps

Thank you so much. So it's not entirely wrong if you just do one of those grips for everything??

@@Vadu1337its up to you, depending on your goals and time capabilities. You can do only variation for several years of course, and your back will definitely be great but it's better to do several versions of them to emphasize lagging parts while stimulating other parts just enough to not loose progress. You can do it this way - pick 4-5 styles and keep rotating them, changing every 6-8-10 weeks depending how you structure your training cycles. Remember that muscle itself doesn't care about how long you do certain variation exercise but tendons and ligaments and joints might start hurting due to overuse if you keep doing only one variation for many many months.

@@namazishmakhametov3649you aren't going to lose any progress anywhere in the back if you're doing a vertical and horizontal pull. Pick 4-5 styles and keep.rotating them? Broski, it seems like you're looking into things but don't have a clear view of the process overall. How tf you gonna switch up your 4 or 5 vertical pull movements every 6 to 10 weeks? The key is progressive tension overload, the rest is minutiae
Wide overhand is also going to hit your upper back a lot too

It's all about your arm position and how straight your body is.
I always felt like nothing is happening when doing the wide bar pulldown. Then When I started doing the narrow grip one it felt like burnn, and it actually activated my lats.

You dont have to do all of that, just do a slightly wide grip lat pulldown and a close grip and then any row variation you like to work your entire back
Short & tot he point. Thanks❤
this is what i'm looking for

I keep it simple. Pronated grip is the best overall for the back. I'd pick wide grip and close grip with v bar
Thank you so much for sharing this. Because some people might be think it's only wide grip lat pull down that's correct and the other form is wrong
Best video on the internet so far ❤❤❤
More of such videos thanks
V bar works great for me.
This is why at the busy gym the other day, there was this old dude that basically made home to the latpulldown machine while everyone waited. Ofcourse he carried two invisibe televisions
That's what's up man! Good stuff👍

We should not use the thumb finger to hold when doing for lat muscle.

There's no need to overcomplicate it. Find a vertical pull, a horizontal pull and imo a pullover variation that you enjoy and get stronger at those. Frankly, my back grew a ton when I stuck to a powerlifting program, it was 3 sets of chinups a week and so all credit goes to the deadlifts there.
So inorder to hit all lat musle i can do wide lat pull down and v bar grip ...right

Fax. I don't really understand this. I do what I feel working better for me 😅 not that I can feel my back. I just use the grip I am the most strong at. Idk why can't I feel my back. I am not engaging my biceps or my forearms also.
What about neutral???
is upper, middel, lower lats its exiss???😅
So if I can’t target my inner or outer chest, how come it’s possible to target upper and lower lats?

If you go all the way up your working shoulders more than anything same with coming to far down u end up working biceps instead of Lats. Keep the tension steady and don’t full range. Pump,is what build muscle

@@Robin24204 I’m not tho The lower lat is not as described in the video isn’t correct The lower lat is vertical and because of this vertical pulls work that muscle in unison with the teres major but not the teres minor, the teres minor externally rotates the humerus which isn’t happening in a vertical pull and the only parts of the rotator cuff used in a vertical pull are the ones that connect past the scapula and onto the spine, these work in unison with the mid and lower trapezius which aduct an retract the scapulae
