Do straight arm pulldowns for great Lat activation. Also do rear delt/lat pull downs with the cable crossover.
 
Has anyone got a link to a video or similar for a tried and true way to help get good connection with my lats.
I've always struggled with getting good activation with my lat pulldowns etc and experiencing a big pump.
I can get a good pump with my rows setting my shoulders and "dragging pinkies" but lat pull down is a different story 😪
lat pull down video ? @Wheelhouse87
I think @Napa1020 has in his log a lot of good training vids

I will check his video out cheers bro.
Not just a lat pull down video but more so proper position of shoulders or any exercises to feel the lats activate if having trouble. From what I've read the lats can be some of the hardest muscle group to get proper connection with when training. I don't know how true that is but it's the only muscle group I feel I could get better pumps out of.
I'll have a search around but also lower the weight maybe.
Cheers bro

I think the guys on here have some good examples for you to really tighten that up, mind muscle connection is related to form too
@Napa1020 @Mobster @RoidRage69 are our top training guys
and @Noah Wixx can help as well for big training :D

I learned take my thumb and index finger out of the pull and it made a huge difference
 
if you can throw up a few videos next time you do back @Napa1020 , would help @Wheelhouse87 get a live video from a pro like yourself :D
Lol definitely no where near a pro but will do. Basically just using your last three fingers to pull even with all machines

Oh man I'm definitely giving that a go tomorrow. I know for a fact I'm not doing that and probably tend to lean more towards my index side.
Thanks for the tip bro! Will let you know how I go
 
Awesome work @Wheelhouse87.
You could try single arm lat pulldowns that how I learnt to help activate my lats.
Don't know if that helps though. Generally you want to almost pull you elbow into your hip for singles should feel it in the lat that way 👌
 
Make like a gun gesture while pulling woth your thumb and index, takes the bicep out of it
Thanks for the explanation.. I know exactly what you mean 👍 will report back tomorrow
 
Had a good shoulder workout this morning. I had been feeling a bit off the past couple of days so shifted it to today.

Can definitely try that too.. do you just put a single strap handle on the Pull down machine?
Cheers

Is this move what you mean with the cable crossover bro?

Yeah single handle strap thing.
Generally I put it on the opposite side to where I'm work to help form an x shape.
So handle right hand side for left hand.
