Just absolutely WILD that anyone could watch this video/see this machine in action and think…. “That’s cool & all but I think a Pull-Ups will do a better job of growing my Lats!”

I did pullups and lat pulldowns for 6 months and barely noticed any changes. Started doing these and lower single arm rows and my V taper exploded in like 3 months

I instinctively want to argue with you because it’s X, but it looks legit

It's absolutely WILD that anyone would make a comment like that to someone who has done pull/chin ups for 40+ years. Sometimes you try to be too smart. Nothing has given my more strength in my back, shoulders, core, arms, forearms, grip than pull/chin ups.

Some people just dont want to admit what they have been doing for years could be sub optimal.

Lot of truth to that

I want natural movement and growth Not isolated growth that then doesn’t work as coherently together with other muscle groups.

That machine gives constant tension + insane stretch through the full ROM. Pull-ups are great, but this thing is built different for actual lat growth.

Idk man, pull ups and dips are crucial in my book, you need to be able to move your own weight. Nothing truly gets my entire back like pull ups. I'm also not a body builder and just trying to stay lean and in good shape.

Love the angle of the chest support.

Yep Absolutely ideal

Pure efficient isolation is key 🔑

I saw that machine in my new gym and I cried in happiness

It’s GOATED

Machines like this are simply superior.

Unilateral 😍

That machine looks like it belongs in a torture dungeon 😳 Where do I find such equipment 🤔

Hahaha gotta find an elite gym near you

pull ups will do better job overall, you are just too weak for your own body weight.

That's cool and all but I want functional strength, not to look good for the other gym bros. Pull ups are better.

This is insane 🔥💯

Stable as fuck Variable resistance profile GOATED

Absolutely!!

Machines just isolate … you can do the same with a pull-up. If you only had one thing to work back … a pull-up bar would be it

At some point though, don’t you just enjoy doing big compound exercises as a test of overall strength ? I’ve come from a powerlifting gym and now been running a 5 day split you posted a little while ago. Made great progress but still miss hitting PR’s

I have no desire to do that

I literally tell everyone I know to follow you. And it’s for videos like this. Next up, I need to get the owner of my gym to follow you so they can add all this equipment! You the man Dean.

@JasonSchwartz50 Hahaha thank you, Jason! Yes you do!

People always gotta chirp. Looks like you've got better isolation for sure and more control of the weight vs loaded pullups. Im all for bodyweight exercises though as they are totally underrated esp when people think "if I cant get in a super well equipped gym there's no point"

Well, yes That mindset is stupid as hell

I abandoned the lat pulldown cable for pullups. I would abandon pullups for this beast!

Chest and back supported exercises are ELITE!

If you’ve done these you know how good they are

When the machine has highest torque at the beginning of the concentric rather than at the end:

Yep This variable resistance profile is sick

Some of us just want to be able to do a few pullups and the only thing that really trains pullups is pullups.

Man my gym needs this

Chris Kuess the goat

Facts Legend

I love doing unilateral pull downs. You get to focus in on the mind muscle connection and really activate your lats. One my favorite muscles to isolate

Absolutely love the iso high row machine.

this machine looks great and would do a great work to build lat. this is n alternative option i used since that type of machine isnt available for me to use. what do you think about my form and how efficient is this type of exercise for lat?

It should look more like this

@speaklifexx If you wanna be pedantic, bring the bench further back, put your chest againts the bench and stretch you latt more. both variants work fine, its actually going to the gym that counts

@DeanTTraining yeah showing up regardless is what matters

Agreed, but I've never seen this machine in any gym I've been to! Looks awesome.

Who would have thought JNCO pants would make a come back .

I follow that guy on IG love him

He’s a BEAST
