[@VegasVIPs]

Having a huge and strong back is one of the best things a body builder or a person in general could have. A solid back opens you up and allows full expression of your other muscles. And you look jacked + feel like the ultimate bad ass

This exercise actually allows me to make the mental connection to my lats.

be careful, after mentally connecting with my lats we fucked for the first time

[@Cuzjudd]

For everyone saying they feel it in their triceps, lower the weight and get your mind muscle connection firing.

[@frederikscience]

+Cuzjudd I don't really get the "get your mind muscle connection firing"?

[@jtinero]

+frederikscience Initiate the movement with your lats, not your arms. Keep your wrists straight, but consciously contract your lats to move the weight. It takes some practice.

[@ThePalmiterfamily1]

@@jtinero I'm one of those guys that feels the tricep burn as well I'll try lowering the weight and focus more

[@brandensoutdoorb-channel8084]

I tell them to grow but nothing happens

[@dadadannn]

I've found using an underhand grip i can feel it in the lats way more. Ans go slower focus on time under tension

[@dihedralprime1039]

your vids are among the greatest and most informative in the yt fitness community, keep up the good work.

[@kend7597]

I was getting hella frustrated trying to figure out how to do these properly cause it kept hitting the long part of my triceps CRAZY intense, and nothing in the lats. Watched your explanation once and i hit it perfectly. Thanks dude!

[@bobbenbrown123]

Same here dude. I was doing them last exercise of my back workout and felt them in my triceps too much. I need a better mind muscle connection with the lats on these

[@mansoorahmed6417]

You are best trainer your method is simple and effective ✌️

[@b-koz]

I've been doing 1 arm seated lat pulldowns since I cannot bend my right arm and was trying to think of a way to hit my right side too. This seems to be perfect for that, thank you

i wish if i can workout with you scott ...you're the best

[@BobbieTheFish]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.. was checking the comments to see if anyone might have mentioned that his form was off. I'm more speculating but I think it might be better to stop when your arms reach the top of your chest.. just from trying the motion (..sitting at my computer..) it seemed like if I went all the way to my chin, I stopped feeling it in my back and I couldn't keep my shoulder's tight.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

@luis182117 you feel this mor in the middle toward the top.. its awesome!

[@SouravBasuRoy]

old is always gold!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

@zaffe93 its in the title!

[@gb4double]

I've been doing these for years and never knew it was an actual excercise... just always felt like a good multi-muscle group excercise...

[@ScottHermanFitness]

@BBoYDenZen exactly right!

[@lastmoonchild]

The most intense burn ever is from lat push down for ME!

[@REDRAGON12345]

This is a great exercise, and its funny how you dont see many people doing this at most gyms...

[@Petahx3]

Love the camera angle exactly at 1:00 :P

[@homumu]

So arching spine is the main key to stimulate my lats? Having conflict to choose between hyper-extension and neutral spine, as hyper-extension seems more stimulating for me

[@msfattytrollbitch]

this is good for the muscles that are on top of the shoulder blades

[@ayoutubeuser6105]

Really. Short and simple.

[@Harnas31]

like it, useful for swimmers

[@sean8930]

Cool, thank you.

[@evo6swap]

Thank you

[@Thisismynameffs]

@barrettrifles Why? Doing shoulder extension actually rotates the lower part of scapula so that serratus actually stretches during this exercise (it does a bit of exentric isotonic musclework though when returning the move and inhaling). Benchpressing with your shoulders only isolates Serratus Anterior

[@ScottHermanFitness]

@BLONDASS123 I like to do them at the end of my backworkout.. I notice added strength

I wasn't use to doing these. Pretty new. My lats are so sore. I almost over did it. Still trying to get the soreness out after 2 weeks. It must hit the muscle differently than a chinup or pulldown because I do chinups with no soreness.

[@rimantasdanilevicius6754]

is there another way to target this muscle? because I only feel my triceps, I probably do not have big lats.

[@LibertyWaxlips]

@mickchoa pump exercise for a light day or warmup exercise to activate your lats if you are arm-dominant in your pull ups or chins.

[@TheZints]

I like using the lat pull down bar for these to get a wider grip and really target the lats.

[@deathbychr0nik166]

When you are doing it as well, go 30/30 for like 3-4 sets

[@teogoulas863]

I feel this in my front shoulder

[@MrChrisxig]

Nice! This workout is the same as Cable Straight Arm Pull Down right?

[@KrugTwins]

U have like a video for everything, is this similar to the dumbbell pullover or Atleast as effective?

[@ale03000]

This movement helps strengthen our back to prepare for the muscle up ? Not even able to do the kipping muscle up yet, current level of 8-10 strict pullups to the chest, 15-20 straight bar dips. . . Still need more explosive pulling power and height . . So is it the strength or technique or both ? Thanks

[@musicsuxnowadays]

Is this a good workout for the core as well???

[@JulienMV]

@BLONDASS123 My trainer told me this exercise was used a lot by swimmers and it helps to have a larger back

[@KCavvy]

So glad young Rob Gronkowski could show me some lat Pulldowns

[@ayoubzougari2761]

thanks bro

[@zr1525]

Does this also work lower pecs, triceps & post deltoid?

[@mortgageguru]

I keep feeling in my triceps more than lats and I’m not bending my arms 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t understand why lll

[@M.K-SAVE]

which back muscle does this hit (or mainly hit), lats, middle back or lower back?

[@Devilmaycry12369]

Wow. A Herman video that’s wasn’t an hour long! 👍🏽

[@gregmurphy4231]

You were well spoken and displayed the exercise perfectly and the camera work was pretty good however you might want to mention in the title or at least one of the first things you say in the video what muscle it works. I think most would be scrolling four back exercises or bicep exercise, not cable pushdown or curls. Just my two cents worth, keep up the good work

[@anthonydemetriou9335]

Useful

[@BBoYDenZen]

@alooosafd it is an exercise for latissimus...so the abbreviation LAT...

[@ScottHermanFitness]

@alooosafd maybe read the title? maybe??

[@gabuu2008]

it´s a fine exercise, but it´s also very important to get a muscle-mind link from the first rep to really hit the lats; if if you find it useless, I bet you are not doing it well.

[@finalresistance]

are these also for the serratus anterior to keep your shoulder blade pinned down to your ribcage?

[@Purp1eMonkey]

what excersize should i do if i wnat to train the muscles on the sides and right below my shoulder blade?

[@cwelinho.]

thanks! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

[@mikkey246]

If we raise our weight, do we need a belt for back support?

[@AndrewSmith00000007]

i have one question about breathing . what if i breath in instead of when i should breath out when i push?

[@TimeFlyingBy1884]

How many reps and sets do you recommend? Thanks.

[@kkct7]

Does this exercise work your serratus anterior muscles?

[@i.isaacgarcia5252]

What's the purpose of that stance? I do that exercise standing away from the weights at a good distance but i keep my legs and back straight.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

@alooosafd haha no needs to say sorry.. all in good fun here! :)

[@MrDonny27]

That work my triceps also or maybe I was doing it wrong

[@ScottHermanFitness]

@OrginalKork wooop woop!

[@ragib29]

yooo dude i need a bit of help with that, ive bin having that problem, i try to keep my arms straight and everything, but my triceps still get worked more, and if i put the weight down and try to focus on form, my lats dont get worked at all, can u suggest anything to help?

[@RatedRudy4]

this does work the triceps in any way, just worried that if i do this exercise wrong in even the slighest way that i'am going end up to worrking my triceps a bit

[@eminence18]

@okailo hey probly too late to give advice on the lat pushdown thing lol. I've been struggling with it for so long until I just totally listened to my body and I lean forward a fair bit when the bar comes up to chin height. so when you bend forward a bit it's actually more like head height. I flex the shit out of my back tightening my butt and move slow on the negative with medium to medium light weight at first. if it doesn't feel right, it's probably not right so listen to ur body

[@chriswalter9335]

Do i have to keep my shoulderplats together?
