Love this video, I’ll be trying this exercise on my next pull day! Speaking of, could you give us an updated width focused pull day and a thickness focused pull day, please? Much love! Great work
Seems like right now all the guys focused on neuromechanical matching and all that suggest the only way to train lower lats is through pronated, wider grip, pulldowns. TNF, Paul Carter, Chris Beardsley, Davis Diley, etc. They'd all say this is mid/upper lat.
I found you on Instagram and I really like your videos. Do you have any advice or a video on how to overcome strength plateaus? I've been struggling with my dumbbell bench press. I always end up doing the same number of reps with the same weight, and it's been like this for months. I've tried lowering the weight and increasing the reps, but it hasn't helped. I'm currently looking into my food intake, but any advice on how to break through this plateau would be amazing. Thank you!
It’s like the middle pecs, do you need a specific press for it if you train the other two portions hard? It depends 1) how much you care about it and 2) how you train the other two. If you care about that portion a lot and it’s not getting hit a ton when you train the rest for example if you do a lot high inclines and dips it makes sense to target the middle portion directly. Conversely, if you’re not too focused on the middle portion right now and your training for the other two portions is only slightly off from where it would be for the middle portion I think you’re good. So if you want maximum lat size and your lat training is currently very close to horizontal and vertical, with not much stuff in the middle, it would make sense to add something. But if lats are not the focus and you do your vertical pulls are slightly in front or your horizontal pulls are slightly high you’re probably fine and I wouldn’t obsess over “lumbar lats”.
The most informative man on the internet. Love it mate & thank you!
thanks very much my friend!
Thank you, Ben. Your videos really help me. Just a small adjustment to the technique helped me feel the muscle more.
Great video ! Thank you so much brother. I've learnt a lot from you. God bless you
thank you for the kind words!! appreciate it!!

This is gold

Thanks Ben! Very informative, straight to the point, awesome.
thanks for the kind words and comment.
Great arms ! Ty for the video, i'll give it a try next back session :)
thanks a ton! enjoy!
Hi Ben,
Do your courses video in website have English captions? For example the anatomy and biomechanics course. Thanks.
They are better hit when adducting the shoulder

Slow down the eccentric portion of the press. The downward portion, slow down tempo to 2 or 3 second eccentric.
my damn stack is so low i have to do this kneeling.
How can we challenge the upper lats in the most stretched position
Hi Ben what app are you using ?
If I don't have access to cable machines will resistance bands anchored to a pullup bar work?
so what about mag grips then what are your thoughts on that attachment
What about lat pull down supinated bilateral is it the same ?
Are the middle lats (lumbar division) worth thinking about or is it trained well when you do stuff for thoracic and illiac
