Can I get a form check on these single-arm lat pulldowns

@richardhoangbui i feel the stretch in your lats literally

@richardhoangbui I noticed the angle between your upper and lower arm was often less than 90 degrees when you were in the contracted position, so IMO that would be more biceps than you would want Just my 2 cents

@ZachHan25148246 I don't feel it in my biceps, more in my lats, but I'll play around given your context

@richardhoangbui Move the bench closer, and put your none working hand against the bench. I’ve found to get a much better contraction this way.

@richardhoangbui Try leaning into it a touch more. Nothing wrong with the form but I get a better contraction. I also don't go chest to bench but that's my personal preference.

I'd say you likely are't getting much benefit from that long pause in THAT position. Next time, so some reps with your free hand wrapped around your body so you can feel your lat engagement. You might notice when your elbow gets closer to directly below your shoulder, your lat reduces tension. Keep feeling your lat during the reps and find that point where your lat feels the most tension near the bottom, and use that point to change direction, or take your pause there. That's my take.

@richardhoangbui If you want more lat activation and less arm. un-grasp your thumb and pointing finger and hook only three fingers before your pull. Then focus on drawing the elbow back instead of pulling back just to get the weight up. you can use that same techinque with all your back ex

Depends - supinated - neutral - pronated Depending on which one you do would reconfigure chest/ angles a bit for a smoother curve and more activation... If you're doing the twist, idk, I usually catch my body naturally adapting to optimize for the contraction and then the negative/ stretch which is not a straight line for me...

@richardhoangbui Ass fat
