Reply With QuoteIt has no differant effect on how the lat is stimulated when compaired to pulldowns/ups in the front.......its just old school and dangerous to the shoulders.
Any real justification for behind the head lat pull?

Ever try any single lat pulls. Sit sideways on bench, reach over with right arm PULL. Do same for left side. "EEVIL"

Nope, not any real justification for it at all.

Pulldowns to the front isolate your upper lats better, thats why I'll never do and have never done behind the neckers
