Lat pull downs

[Mr. Las Vegas]

How many of you guys do lat pull downs in your back routine? If not , what exercise do you do?

 

[gilly6993]

I do chins......4 sets

 

[Zoomster]

Chins rule!

 

[SofaGeorge]

Pull ups, chins, deadlifts, bentover barbell rows...

Chins and Pull ups are #1

 

[icelandic]

IMO weighted chins are SO MUCH more effective than pulldowns

Pull ups, chins, deadlifts, bentover barbell rows...

Chins and Pull ups are #1

I do the same except I add some light seated rows in the end.

 

[Mike P.T.]

I do them since I do them as my 3rd or fourth back exercise and weighing 230 and doing them wide grip style I don't go above 210 with pulldowns for strict reps though. I rather do these strict then throw my wieght around doing chins. However, once I lean out and get my weight around 215 or so I will go back to doing chins again.

BTW - I do my heavy deadlifts, and rows as well.

I usually do reverse grip lat pulls on the Hammer Lat pulldown machine, but I throw chins in there about twice a month.

I do lat pulldowns and i think they're one of my best lifts... chins seem to be too easy even when i add weight.... lat pulldowns really blow my lats up like nothing else that i do...those combined with T-Bars and i cant seem to put my arms down on back days

I thought everyone did pulldowns, its the deads that suck ass. But they work wonders...........galaxy

I do weighted pull-ups instead. Three sets with a 60lb d-bell hanging from the belt.
