Lat Pulldown - Correct Form?
Lat pull downs - I never go behind my neck, as I have heard this causes injuries. But I am being told that is not true? Any input?

However if you can do pullups definitly do so. Pullups are far more superior to pulldowns!

Agreed with P. I dont see the reason to do so. Plus, it almost forces you to roll your back forward.
Ive always disliked pulldowns. Always seemed harder than they should be. Shit, they seem harder for me than weighted pullups.
Not to mention, I see a LOT of people using bad form using this shit. Using momentum, leaning really far back, I dont get it.6' 217lbs (10/18)
Bench 365 (12/3)
Weighted Pullups 80lbs 3x3 (3/19)
Squat 370
Deadlift after herniation 385lbs 3x3 (3/17)
