ISO lat pulldown - plate loaded
For lat pulldowns, I usually use either the pin machine , which I really like for a number or reasons, or the cable station, but I had to use another gym today, and the location had a bunch of plate loaded iso equipment my location doesn’t have. We do have an iso supine chest press, which I love, so I tried this. The path felt odd, but the weirdest part, I was pulling about 130 lbs more than I can on the pin loaded machine or cable. Is that really just the leverage of the longer arms or what’s the story with these? For context, i typically do 2-3 sets and aim for failure , typically ends up in the 8-10 range for me because I tried to lift heavy. So that’s what I did today.
