Thread: How far down on pull downs?

How far down do you guys go on wide grip pull downs??
I go all the way till the bar hits my chest on the first couple, then on the last few I cant hit my chest with the bar anymore. If I go lighter so I can hit my chest on more reps I still keep going bc I feel the lighter weight is too light. The thing I hate most about pull downs is there's no clear cut line when you hit failure.
So when do you stop doing them
-when you can't hit your chest anymore?
-when you can't go below your chin anymore?
I'm not sure if I'm clear on this, but keep in mind I always go till failure, and with bench and curls, etc there's no question where that is.

keep going atleast until u cant go below chin

I agree with this. You could also try doing a drop set. Once you can only get to chin level, reduce the weight.
