Hey, not really as much of an expert as you are, but maybe you can try planking with your hands extended forwards (not on your elbows) with your chest as close to the ground as possible. Basically just lay flat on the ground with your body stretchedd horizontally as much as possible and push the ground with your hands without bending your elbows. You can also sit on a bench from the side, grip it with both hands and lean back untill your head touches the floor and then straighten up.

The difference between pull-downs and pull-ups is one is an open chain, the other is a closed chain. Open-chain is where your hands/feet move and your body is generally stationary and Closed-chain is where your body moves and your feet/hands stay stationary. You are using WAY more muscles in closed chain exercises, utilizing proper movement patterns. Open chain are generally better at specific muscle hypertrophy(curls/tri extensions etc) as you secure most of the other muscles with some type of bracing, as opposed to pure contraction of stabilizers. If you're looking for total body or proper movement patterns, closed-chain. If you're looking for just pure hypertrophy, open-chain. Then of course, the best of both worlds if you're looking for functional hypertrophy. When you utilize more muscles, there is more of a transferal of energy to other muscles in that group. Where-as with isolating a muscle or group of muscles from the whole, is selective movement patterns and not training to utilize all the muscles, together.

The thing with pull ups is youve got it the wrong way around. Its easier to do more on a pull up than on a pull down cause the pull up is less strict. You're still going to be able to do a pull up and carry heavy stuff if you do pull downs and ohp. The only way a handstand is more 'functional' is in a handstand competition. This 'functional' crap is nonsense. You can do all of these movements to make gains and all will be equally 'functional' (whatever functional means). You're just being an ignorant twat and a nerd.

What I am trying to say, when you go up on a pull up,you use a curved path and on the lat pull down that curved path is not as curved as it should be. But maybe I am wrong.

I've had pullups / chinups as my main vertical pull for probably about a year now. I really wish I had started them earlier. They're really fantastic if you take your time with them. I do about 10-15 sets a week, split between weighted and body weight. Some reasons why I think they're slightly better than a pulldown: pullups have a pretty decent barrier to entry. Once you're doing sets of pullups, you're doing quite a bit of work, and fairly intense work (especially if you're heavier). On pullups you can cheat a bit by kipping your legs, which is pretty noticeable and easy to control if you're paying attention. On pulldowns, you can cheat by leaning your torso to pull with a little more body weight at the start, and you can cheat at the end by 'crunching' and rolling your torso forward. I don't feel like either of these are really options on pullups. The other reasons I like pullups / chinups a bit more...you can kinda do them anywhere there's a bar. That's pretty OP for working them consistently. They're also really flexible in how you do them (arched back, hollow body, L-sit, etc). You can absolutely hit your core while you're smashing your back. They're also great for deloading the spine. With that said, there's nothing really stopping you from building a ridiculous back with pulldowns. If you're paying attention to form you can really hit pretty much everything mid back, lats/teres, biceps/brachialis/brachioradialis, rear delts, even a little triceps. I do like that you can alleviate some mobility demands that would come with pullups / chinups by using a different torso angle on a pulldown. In my first several years of lifting I did nothing but pulldowns and could do at least 15 pullups without really practicing them. If you're working up to full range of motion pullups (like sternum to bar), you can work that harder contracted position really easily with pulldowns.

Cable lateral raises were a game changer for my side delts. I only do 3 sets 15-20 reps per set. I pick a weight that I can do 18-20 reps on the first set which ends up being about 15 on my 3rd set. I focus on controlled movement and squeeze at the top, but it's nearly impossible to cheat so with good form the delts are doing the work. Since the machine only goes up like 5 lbs at a time, which IMO is too much of a jump, I stack plates on the pin and go up .5 lbs pretty much every workout. I bought the weights on amazon for like 20 bucks and just brought them to the gym and left them. Since the cable machine has several pulleys, the .5 lbs is actually more like .25 lbs. This has allowed me to work in the rep range that IMO works best for delt isolations and have continually made progress. Yes, that only comes out to 1 lb per month but its side delts were talking about. My delts have always been a lagging body part but not anymore thanks to this one exercise.

I actually used pull downs to build strength for pull ups. These can be used as back off sets as well as high rep finishers. Main difference I personally notice in pull downs from pull ups is that back/lats don't feel fully engaged, at least for me. Maybe because entire body is in almost fixed position and can't move in its natural groove as is possible with pull ups due to its freestanding nature. However, one edge that pull downs have over pull ups is that you can easily adjust your back angle or backward lean to prioritize certain muscles over others. It is often really challenging in case of pull ups. For example, I can lean back pretty much like a sternum pull up while using pull downs.

I lowkey forget planks exists, genius idea. When I think abs I think decline weighted sit up, leg/knee raise with ankle weights or a dumbbell (hard to describe but in musclemonsters ab video they show a knee raise variation that targets the obliques), and cable crunch I honestly don’t like dumbbell benching that much. My grip is giving out before chest and it’s automatically a closer grip position. With a bar I can way wider and idk why but bars seem to put less stress on my shoulders. Also doesn’t put as much pressure on my wrist. I do them for variation/unilateral work

Awesome content! I've been doing Meadows rows as of late, been loving those over other rows.

I tried to do this, but I had to expand it to 12. Squats, Pull Ups, Dips, Deadlifts, RDLs, Bench, Overheard Press, Dumbell Pullovers, Bent Over Rows, Lunges, Hip Thrusts, and a Chest Assisted Row.

This is my first block with AD Presses, bout 2 weeks in and I'm moving 50lbs more with it, less back and ab fatigue makes it perfect for someone who wants to vert press but also frequently trains back on top of squats+deadlifts. Crossbody front raises with dumbbells are also the truth

Romanian deadlift. My hamstrings sucked until i learned how to properly do them and they proceeded to blow up
