Single-Arm Pulldowns - exercise demo and cues - how to do for big lats big back hypertrophy coach

[@jdouglas2002]

This guy doesn't look healthy or look like he has ever worked out

[@HypertrophyCoach]

This was actually my first time working out. This video. You look great though 👌

[@FarNorthAdventure]

Hope you have a great week Jason!

[@MariusSc]

Such a cute dog, Jason! Cuddle him from me :)

[@scottend5239]

You do crossft and one of your KZbin playlists is "Zen Thoughts". Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Jason. Calm down and do some yoga.

[@LukeMaloneBMX]

Some of the best coaches in sports were not always the best players, just because you have a better physique then him doesn't mean you can't learn something from him.

[@Wetterwet]

I revisit these older videos from time to time. The best of the best

[@chasegordon2120]

Watched this, went to gym today and tried it, and realized I’ve never felt my full lay before. Ever. New favorite thing to do in gym. And I’ve done single arm pull down just from the seat and never realized what I was missing. You are the king

[@joojotin]

Your content easily belongs in top 5 in youtube regarding information about training. Havent heard you say anything I disagree with. Not to say I know everything, but you know your stuff. Keep it going! 🙏

[@khutchins]

Just tried these out kneeling instead of sitting on the seat and they feel way better!

[@Nicachu2012]

Amazing video! I've been doing these for three months or so now, and i got to say, the stimulus is really great. The only issue is that it requires double the time, but i think is worth it

[@racecourt4166]

Not really cus ur left side is resting when u do the right, so u get an extra 30 seconds u can remove from rest

[@Nicachu2012]

@@racecourt4166 yeah, i thought about that too, but you have to recover cardiovasculary too and it's not like you are at complete rest when you do the other side so...

[@CoffeeConnected]

There's a difference when you do this unilaterally. When you're pulling down with both sides you cant quite achieve as strong a squeeze. One arm at a time allows a bit of sideways leaning motion to get both a better stretch at the top and a harder squeeze at the bottom because you are able to utilize a wider range of motion. You have more freedom to accentuate angles.

[@jeremy_leow]

all the best for your prep Ruff!

[@229dant]

Amazing video. Would love it if u did more of these types

[@andrzejszczepanski9992]

Awesome tips, Coach. Gonna give this - getting down on a knee - tip a try next time! When it comes to excercise details, this is a best chanel on KZbin for sure. Everytime i keep myself wondering why it doesn't have like 1m viewership yet. Thank you for your content

[@kendalllowe7527]

The world needs this man

[@gariejoyce5263]

Did this today what an awesome lat movement. How do you go back to doing regular two handed lat pulldowns when this is so much more effective. Leaning into the movement is a definite plus. I have never felt my lat like that before. I started with 2 sets, did all my other movements, and finished with 2 more sets. Similar to you i don’t have strong people issues, so i only needed 50 lbs to do sets of 15.

[@CoffeeConnected]

I know what you mean. When you do a two handed pulldown your motion on each side is limited to a fixed plane of movement. Although that can have its place depending on what you intend to do.

[@RockyP-xw8rd]

This is fantastic information. Mind / muscle connection is so critical for back training. This particular exercise has led to significant growth in my lats and that’s after 15 years of training. The engagement, constant tension, and squeeze / isolation you get is fantastic. And what’s even better is that you can do this in most any gym. Awesome content.

[@rolandoxiv6934]

since ive been applying the ( aligment tips ) my training results have been updgraded a lot man ) thank you very much

[@benjaminseaman2842]

A professional and excellent description of a way to isolate the movement of this excercise . Exactly the way I preform mine on back day.

[@ajilalappadajilalappad1891]

😍 Thank you sir 🫂

[@adamsloane1748]

Great video. Really clear guide to setting the exercise up and to the most helpful cues, and the best explanation of the end range for the lats that I have heard.

[@joojotin]

Very solid explanation of the mechanics of this exercise. Its propably best exercise for lats imo and biomechanics supports it. Have been doing it few months, feels great.

[@chasegordon2120]

Top 2 favorite channel right here love it. I’ll be big one day thanks to the vids keep em up

[@eagleelisei]

This type of videos is gold

[@kevinward3305]

Excellent movement breakdown

[@g_raff_har4530]

I've been using these just like this, it is the absolute best lat movement for my structure. It makes my lats sore all the way down to my hip, a lat soreness I've never felt before

[@nateknierim7312]

My buddy Evan recommended you thanks for this video. Lats are my main focus right now. Great stuff brother!

[@cmp5459]

Hey man thabks for doing what you do i jist did my very first npc mens physique show ever and now I'm training to be a coach like you and continue my journey to be a ifbb pro big fan here man

[@zenriding1249]

"Smash the spear tip down hard," gotcha coach. Thanks

[@lightingstruck6893]

Great Video.. i have pressed Like and Subscribed too! .. Very thoughtful and informative and details in every aspects! ... I really listen and find your way of explaination very useful and correct! ... i am readjusting my way with your teaching ! Great Stuff!

[@mitchjohnston2410]

Great video. Did single arm lat pulldowns this morning (prior to watching). Eager to incorporate your queues (especially regarding the set-up). 👍

[@fabriziodonizetti5931]

great video Joe, I've actually been looking for a solution because my gym has a nice plate pulldown but the handle sits directly over my head.. thanks for the free knowledge!!

[@jamesrussell5196]

Single arm lay prayers on with the peak contraction have been trashing my lats lately

[@BarryAllen-uf9ml]

Awesome video man!!

[@sadrav1763]

Perfect explanation

[@fatboitino2]

Gotta put those "Everything I've Learned From" videos into a playlist- but, this video is a great video- probably too much detail for those just starting- or not as able to follow along; but it's great in its explanation. People who need simple explanations probably don't watch the channel anyways

[@Sharleyn2015]

Great info!

[@tylerknicely1594]

Just had bicep re-attachment surgery Monday can you make a series of exercise videos for those recovering from major injuries like myself thanks

[@ee7369]

This looks like it works a lot of the biceps as well. Is that the best for lats then?

[@Ashurus]

To combat the cable machine forcing your arm straight up on the eccentric, how about just leaning back slightly to still utilized the seat and thigh pads? Would this change the profile much even on a cable machine? I understand with dumbbells or barbells this makes a difference because the way gravity acts on the load.

[@lorenzociceri]

Thanx a lot

[@MD-tx8se]

Thank you!

[@1922johnboy]

Outstanding ❤😮😊

[@robbhensel7842]

You don't need supination or shoulder extension, takes the tension of the lats.

[@cdm1972]

Spear cue's good.

[@RatedP4P]

Love this exercise, tend to find the semipronared grip (aka neutral as I push my glasses up the ridge of my nose) preferable 🤓

[@json1291997]

Hey coach, should we be in thoracic extension when training lats? Or keep our core engaged? 🥺

[@joojotin]

Neutral/core engaged. Thoracic extension changes biomechanics of the exercise too much and takes away from the lats.

[@provingground8858]

I disagree with the idea that thoracic extension could take focus from the lat. The idea that either a tight core or thoracic extension is preferable to the other for lat training in general is very elementary in it's approach. I could see asking that question regarding specific movements but even then I believe it is still relative to the individual provided there is a good mind/ muscle connection. Any intermediate level bodybuilder knows by feel if they are engaging the targeted muscle. I actually get more out of a thoracic extension when using single arm pulldowns. I think it helps me get my lats stretched along with of course some rhomboids, traps and rear delts getting in on the action but who cares if i incidentally grow more than one muscle at a time!

[@joojotin]

@@provingground8858 if other muscles are coming in the play, then obviously line of resistance has changed which means less lats. It isnt a big deal tho. Im pretty sure contraction is waaay better when being neutral/core tight. But anyways, thats my opinion and understanding of the biomechanics of lats. Feel free to disagree, nothing wrong with that.

[@HypertrophyCoach]

Neutral, or slightly one way or the other of it is fine (since “neutral” is different from person to person). So you can experiment a bit to see what fits best. And always keep “core” tight

[@the.natural.guy.]

I find if I set myself up on a bench on a cable fly machine I can brace with my legs more and get a much harder contraction in my lat. Going down on one knee, I lose too much strength as it goes to bracing my body.

[@prateekmaggo9278]

Great video coach. Your info and understanding is top notch. One question: The side which we are focusing on, wouldn't keeping the opposite leg in front give a better Lat stretch?

[@HypertrophyCoach]

Not necessarily. I say go with personal preference though

[@ahmetmoses555]

what's the difference between vertical and horizontal movement using the same handle and exercise, in terms of lats activation or focus, is it more outer portion of thr lats or midd ot Lowes??

[@StraightGuyStraightTalk]

So should I Supinated or neutral grip. You said Neutral but you demonstrated Supinated grip

[@grudge8899]

Commenting for the algo.

[@jeffsmith8065]

Thanks that helped alot

[@dennisdidomenico7607]

your doing the exercise facing machine some videos have you line up 90 degrees to the machine and some both arms at once kneeling between the cable machine your thoughts?

[@nazmulhaque1308]

Tell me about muscles

[@andrewgoldman9279]

damn, that was freakin amazing bro

[@shivamsharma-zi3pj]

Does it involve some bicep work also coach?

[@orezingao]

does this logic also apply to cable rows?

[@brucemackenzie4952]

You talked about neutral grip but when you showed exercise you didn’t use?

[@raydavis3535]

I've done the version where your on your knees and your facing parallel with the D ring instead of facing it.

[@artenman]

For the length of this video to show how to do 1 exercise I could've finished a quarter of my workout lol.

[@little.wing.]

I heard you have an app

[@Chris-ut5ih]

At what angle should your forearm be in relation to upper arm? Or that doesn’t matter too much?

[@HypertrophyCoach]

Forearm should stay inline with the cable. Don’t think about relation to the upper arm

[@Chris-ut5ih]

@@HypertrophyCoach thank you! Is the hammer strength front pulldown (supinated grip) essentially the same exercise? It seems to have same plane of motion so I just want to make sure

[@lamontbillingslb]

Okay, so your front leg is on the side of bench as oppose to directly behind the bench when your on one bending knee?

[@HypertrophyCoach]

It can be behind it

[@shubhamjain3649]

I don't find this video in the app. Please help me locate the video.

[@HypertrophyCoach]

In the “TV” section. Under exercises or latest.

Coach Kassems illiac lat pulldown?

[@HypertrophyCoach]

I don’t know what that is

[@user-qc6xw1li5w]

A coach named Kassem claims this to be his exercise and he calls it the illiac låt pulldown.

[@jacob1031]

But what if one simply leaned back - while seated - and kept the end range of motion to the point just before the arm rotates out, as explained in the video? Wouldn't that provide the same stretch and contraction? Great video tho!

Maybe an ok movement but the title for big back big lats is a stretch. Don’t be that guy at the gym who looks like he just watched a KZbin video

unless your professional i DO NOT RECOMEND THIS THERE A FAR MORE BETTER EXERCISE AND REQUIRES LESS OF BULLSHIT OF FINDING YOUR LAT to activate

I’m not sure I would normally trust you, but the all caps has me convinced.
