Lat Pulldowns: Single Bar vs. Individual Handles

david672 · 08-01-2004, 01:43 PM

What do you think is better to do pulldown lats:

a single bar - both pulleys attached to the bar

or

individual handles - a handle/strap attached to each pulley

Thanks!

I guess no one does Lats here.

I use the bar. If I want to go close, I'll do pullups instead.

Speaking of pullups (My favorite excercise BTW) the Latdown
machine can't replace it. You should do both of them to gain
the V shaped back, that sets you apart from them.
