Great Lower Lat Exercise

[digitalpimp]

Tried these today and I really, really like them! I felt these all in my lower lats and felt absolutely nothing in my biceps.

I believe Dante Trudel came up with that movement.

how is it different than a close grip lat pulldown with a rope/straps? If you flip the way the guy is facing 90 degrees anti clockwise, its the same movement

Yes he did. I'm thinking about trying it with just a band next time for a great peak contraction, won't get as good of a stretch at the beginning but I have shoulder issues anyway. Lol

I hear what you're saying and I thought similarly but try them out and you'll see that they feel very different. I've never really felt my lower lats before this. Make sure you do these after you have a good pump since the shoulders are in a delicate position at the beginning of the movement.

Standing versus sitting is a big difference. Vertical versus horizontal pull.

the biomachanics differ a little amd the shoulders are hunched forward not rotated back as with a lat puldown

I actually did these two back to back and they feel similar. The one thing i can say is the dante rows allowed me to get more of a stretch at the bottom of the rep and a slightly larger rom. Definitely similar though.

I probably was doing it wrong but I did feel it in my back greatly.

I've been doing these with a band and I get a really strong contraction at the end of the movement. The only drawback is you don't get the stretch at the top.

put the band a little higher and when you arms go forward push your torso down

I'm not wanting the stretch, as I mentioned above I have shoulder issues. I was just mentioning this for other people.
