Is this better for lats or for chest? I have seen this done for both. I would say I see it equally included in chest workouts and lats. |

For chest I go heavier, keep the elbows slightly more bent, and stretch more downward toward the ground. Part of where you feel it more is mental as well, as you need to almost "control" where you pull the weight from.

Very well said and very true. Form is one thing as well as the mental portion. I find mental more of a factor then form to me b/c once you know what your working your body will ussually move your arms in a manner that it will work that specific muscle.
