4 Lat Pulldown ALTERNATIVES You Must Try!

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
m going to show you four lat pulldown alternatives for a better back that you can use in addition to the classic exercise the very next time you train. To start, there are many different ways to do even the traditional pulldown exercise. You can perform it with your hands gripped underhand for instance. This helps to activate the biceps a bit more allowing you to lift more weight while also getting an anatomically good stretch on the lats in the top position of the rep. You can grip overhand and do so either narrow or out wide. The wider you go the more likely you are to activate the teres major muscle (an important yet overlooked muscle of the back. That said, there are many other things that you can do with the lat pulldown machine that aren-t exactly pulldown grip or width changes. For instance, you can begin by swapping out the attachment that you are using to perform the exercise. Don-t always use the default bar to perform your lat pulldown reps. Instead, try attaching a rope and doing what may be my favorite all time back exercise, the face pulldown. The face pulldown is a variation of the face pull (which is something that I recommend you do at the conclusion of every back workout you do. Instead of pulling purely horizontal as is often the case with the standard version of this, you-ll be getting a vertical pull and will be able to use slightly heavier weights here

Summary:
1: 20 face pulldown
Same as the face pull except more stability, still hitting the rotator cuffs and all the scapular muscles. You can add a little heavier weight.
2: 04 straight arm pushdown
Utilize the rope so it doesn't hit the bottom bar, keep going until elbow directly against side fully adducted to activate lats. This gives stability from below.
3: 04 straight arm scapular pulldown
Do a pulldown but when you get to the bottom, test your straight arm scapular strength by extending arms out in front of you. This makes the weight feel heavier because the moment arm is increasing. Hold 2 to 3 seconds
4: 40 scapular pulldown
Goal is to pull straight down on shoulder blades, depressing shoulder blades, which is the number one job of the mid and lower traps. Quality reps.

hey I love the tips you give in this video! The coolest part is I have been doing the locked out elbows shoulders up and down exercise at the end that you show. and I have been doing exactly how you show on the video. I have just been doing it because it has always felt good and I always want my shoulders to have strength to hold them selves down and back. So now that I saw you do it I know that it-s good and I-ll continue to do it and teach others! Thanks!

Thanks mate I've been struggling with my left Rotator Cuff the pain when it freezes is excruciating but the Rope pull helps ease the pain, know age is against me being 58yrs old but my late pop god rest his soul got me into Dynamic Tension and Iron weights when I was 7yrs old some nights the pain brings tears to my eyes but I'm a die hard old school weight lifter any other advice will be greatly welcome regards Martin

I tried the full range of motion to one side today with Row Pulls on a cable machine and that was great. Each time going to one side, turning the head into that direction also, pulling the elbows way beyond the back. You can go really deep with that movement. Nice feeling in the spine as well, felt like exercise and massage in one!

Question, I was performing a wide grip pull over on the cable machine and left shoulder when I start at the beginning position, slightly upper body forward and hips back. When I go for the pull over straight arms, my left shoulder feels like it cannot rotate all the way like my right shoulder can.

John Dudley (arguably most famous archer/ bow hunter ever) does a pull up version of that last workout. Apparently it's vital to build for stabilization for archery. just another motovater for any bow hunters on this page.
