How the fuck are people repping their bodyweight on the lat pulldown machine? I weigh 185lbs. If I load my pulldown machine up to 110lbs I can do 3 sets of 10 good, slow reps. Then I read online that people are shooting to lift twice their weight on this machine. How is that even possible? Am I just weak as hell or are these people jerking the pulley up and down with their arms rather than their back?
step 1. put your phone in a microwavestep 2. throw microwave in the oceanstep 3. stfu and work out
>>76946609>good, slow repsstupid meme. the only reason I liked the lat pulldown over pull-ups is because it was more satisfying to cheat with.
>>76946609Do pullups instead. Lat pulldowns are a meme. You get better gains from weighted pullups. I did 90 weighted pullups yesterday with a 35lb vest on. Best fucking back day ever.
>>76946609110lb is 50kg. So yes you are just weak. No matter just keep working at it.
You have to choose: Do you want to stretch your back or do you want mad gains? If you want gains don't let your back lose tension at the bottom watch Ronnie Coleman do them. Cutting the reps short by a few cms can add a ton of weight. My brotheory is that if you go into the stretch you have to get out of it using tiny shitty scapula muscles like whatever the antagonist of the pectoralis minor is. It's a lat exercise scapula muscles should fuck off.
>>76946609most people will never come remotely close to repping 2x bw lat pulldown that would be amongst elite lifters 1% elite tier
>>76946609>110lbi'm dyel and I can lift that, maybe try doing it some more
>>76946609>lat pulldown machinemy forearms are weak as bitch. but before i can do my own bodyweight without straps for 10+ reps i wont use straps
I drink 1 can of white monster a day. What am I in for long term?
>>76946609Ego rep it with your bodyweight, wide grip, elbows to hips. I'm 200ish and can do 120 with one hand like this pretty easily but 200 is a struggle.
