00:00 - Introduction 02:29 - The first mistake I commonly see is creating momentum. By creating too much momentum, you aren't going to be using your muscles nearly as much as you could be if you weren't using momentum. Avoid throwing yourself back, keep your chest out, and elbows slightly in front of you so you can squeeze your elbows into your sides. 04:20 - The second mistake I commonly see is not using the eccentric contraction fully. Often we focus so much on the pulling, that we forget about the eccentric part of the lift and just let the weight drop. Your muscles are going to be stronger on the eccentric part of the lift - so next time remember to control the weight more on the way back down. 07:04 - The third and final mistake I commonly see is to stop doing partial reps. Make sure you are getting full range of motion on each rep. The whole point of a lat pulldown is to get your elbows and bring them down, squeezing them into your side. Stopping short is putting you at a disadvantage at building the most muscle possible on this, and any movement for that matter. Really focus on driving your elbows down and squeezing into your side to get the best contraction on this exercise.
As a NETA certified personal trainer, these vids are thorough and very insightful. Just to add for tip #3, it's not just coming down far enough to comolete a full and proper repetition, it's also about restarting the repetition at the very top near lockout. Missing this is bad form that I see daily in the gym. Try doing a pull up in front a Marine like that and he or she will immediately stop you and show you what you're doing wrong. There's never not a time to learn. Form is the foundation that builds your body.
#1 2:04 momentum- don't swing #2 5:25 eccentric- lower the bar up to starting position #3 7:15 range of motion- squeeze at the bottom-pull elbows into your side at bottom of pull down Good shit
Hi, I'm a new subscriber, I am going to gym for a month and I'm just a beginner. I will follow your instructions with the hopes of a pretty good results.
Great tips as always. I agree with everything except that your muscles are stronger on the eccentric. Yes its easier to lower but it's not becauae your muscles are stronger, it's just gravity.
Oh man... ive been swinging when i do lat pull downs 😧!!! Im so glad i came across this vid. Just wished you touched up on hand placement. P.s. Just joined the notification squad.
Swinging is fine helps you use more weight Wich will give you more stimulation and work more muscles, strict is fine to, if you really want a nice back do pull ups and rows, Yates rows are my personal favorite.
I'll do 3 sets of the Lat Pulldowns, start at 100 for a perfect form, then 130 for close to perfect form then 160 and get a little swing on the way down. I think Im just going to stay at 130ish and do more reps.
Hi Vin, when you pull the bar down and pull your elbows to your side do you squeeze your shoulders blades together as well, thanks for the clarification to my question. 💪🏾
Hi Sabrina, I would focus more on pulling down through your lats versus squeezing your shoulder blades together but that will also be a part of the movement too. So to answer your question yes they will also be engaged, however it's not the main part of the exercise. -Adam W.
I’ve only been working out for about six months, so videos like this are very helpful to me. I’ll be working on my back tomorrow, so I’m going to try to pay more attention to my form and see what and how guilty I am of these mistakes.
Hi V-Shred! I am one of your avid fans and a subscriber. Thank you for sharing your techniques. I have a problem and I want to share this to everyone. I did these workouts 4 times already since November and December 2018 once a week. Inclined bench supported dumbbell row, pull-ups, chin-ups, bench press, shoulder press, barbell row, barbell squat, and deadlift. When I went back to work after Christmas, I had an injury in my shoulder and my right chest while scooping seeds and peanuts with a bucket in a very big sack higher than me. At that moment, I used a stool so that I could reach the product and within my shoulder level. Suddenly while scooping and scraping these products, I felt something bad in my shoulder and in my right chest! That was terrible, I was in pain and agony. I thought my ribs and my rotator cuff was damage! I rested for 5 days. Then when I came back I felt ok. The next day the pain stroke me again and I stop what I'm doing in my work that my supervisor transferred me to another department with lighter work. I was crying because I can't move properly even when I just move my right hand with supination, and when I am bending to lift anything, it was extremely painful. My work in that factory is more than a year and just now I got these injuries. I don't know if it was caused by my workouts in the gym or from my work, maybe from both. I am so worried now and so depress coz' it's more than a month that I am not able to go back to the gym. I am afraid already what will happen next If I continue my workouts. I requested to freeze my membership account and maybe, later on, I will totally cancel my membership. I don't know what to do now, I am skinny and my goal is to gain mass while drinking supplements such as mass gainer from gnc, but at the same time I was exercising and working out in that gym to have that fit, healthy, and medium-size body with an abs, nice chest, biceps, triceps, and my legs too. Until that injury stroke me that had me stop workin' out.
How far down to bring the bar. If I go lower then chin and try to touch my upper chest it feels vary uncomfortable and I'm incredibly weak like that. I CAN BARELY DO IT WITH NO WEIGHT. Are we suppose to go that far down??
Any chance you can do any updated leg day videos? Trying to build some mass in my lower body and it's been a while since the last time you posted one. Mobility exercises or weightlifting would be awesome. A more in depth warm up/cool off routine of what you'd do before and after left day would be sick too
Any idea why my rear shoulder hurts when doing this exercise. Strange thing is, its only my right shoulder "Which is on my strongest arm". Feels like my shoulder clicks/pops just feels uncomfortable when doing this.
Can you do a video of glutei shrug, like everyone now is saying that shrugging the glutes at the end of a rep will help toning the glutes, and some say it doesn't work & others says otherwise. Does it work or not?
I have trouble building my lats I think it's due to rolled shoulders forward I have trouble bring my shoulders back and down. I have tight pecs and lats what's are some tips to build the lats up? I do full range motion and controlling the negative but lats aren't growing.
Explain the difference in front Lat pulls and behind the neck pulls . Isn’t it working same group of muscles ? Just curious is one better than the other ?
behind the neck pulldowns and military presses messes with the rotator cuff (mainly supraspinatus impingement) for almost everyone. A few guys can do it long term but most will injure their shoulder at some point, usually after wear and tear has already snuck up on you. Ditch behind the neck stuff. There are many better ways to work rear delts.

But if I do too slow at eccentric, I will need more recovery time since more muscles are torn, right? Normally, I will do about 2 seconds at eccentric, is it ok
@@MikaelLewisify wow, it has been 2 years....... but I'm still lifting weights hahaha!!! Well, what I had learned along the way is... eccentric doesn't matter that much though..... instead, I just try to focus on getting stronger, getting more explosive by doing my reps faster and in a controlled manner, and cycle my intensity. And of course, I am committed to the bulking phase....And yeah, I am getting results right now
I think the reason it is easier to control the bar on the way up rather than downwards because you don’t have to fight against gravity force. Correct me if I’m wrong
It is easier to control the bar going up because your muscles are not working as hard as they are extending whereas when you are pulling it down you are contracting and flexing! -Nicollette
It's easier to do the return movement because gravity is pulling it that way. It's harder to push 50kg against gravity than to control the fall of 50kg pulled by gravity.
I've seen so many dudes do the first mistake so I was like "am I doing something wrong?" I'm getting gains but I don't wanna be the guy that's been doing it wrong for years and end up with multiple pains in the future
Uhmm.. Eccentric is actually good because it is putting it back up in lat pulldowns. And the gravity is in the weights in front fo him, not on the handle. U lack mind-muscle connection
@@pierrecohenmusic i mean it really depends and there sre exceptions. But i find its harder to control going down to the beginning positikm when dojng pull ups

I've been going to the gym for years but fell in to bad habits with LAT reps. This was a useful reminder on how to do it correctly

sound like a good idea more reps burns more.
Man you should have touched on hand placement also that plays a big part in feeling that contraction in the muscles

Squat warm up lighter weight gg easy
@@Joker26Dabeast well yeah but I'd like to see if Vince has anything else he does before. Squatting lighter weight is a given
Do you recommend lat pull downs for both strength and hypertrophy training?
Does anyone have any tips how to correct my moves bcs my shoulders hurt more than my lats
Back pain fix pls
Thanks for the tip

what about the space / distance of the hand grip 🙏🏼at the Bar?
Thank you
I’m wondering that too
Can you do a video on isometric body weight training like gymnasts do vs weight training thanks

Pull ups are king
plz make video about back lat pull down
cool video V shred helps.
Explain the difference in front Lat pulls and behind the neck pulls . Isn’t it working same group of muscles ? Just curious is one better than the other ?
behind the neck works the rear delts

It doesn't work the rear delts
thank you. i wasn't aware i was using momentum. its time to fully eliminate it

No

V Shred is really a good channel, very detail explanations, good forms, and yea the name is Vince, means "conquer"
I always see people swing and carry as heavy as heavy in the the lats pull down. But I am not instructor and I can’t tell them.
Very good tips! Good video.( great to see a dude with some pit hair.i thought i was the only one).good channel

Thought you need to keep your elbows inward not flared out what i heard
I've seen so many dudes do the first mistake so I was like "am I doing something wrong?" I'm getting gains but I don't wanna be the guy that's been doing it wrong for years and end up with multiple pains in the future
I have the same setup in my gym 😎
Taillard Romain How interesting. We're all so pleased you told us that.
i can listen Vince talk for ages
Where do the hands go?
I often catch my elbows kinda jiggle as I pull down😀
Lol same with the last few reps
Itz good 👍..
3:15, 7:47
I simply lean back slightly.
The mans a killaaaaa
What the heck i watched your how to stop doing wrong lat pull down video 1 hour ago now new came out
I don't think the muscles are stronger during eccentric. Its because gravity is doing the most work
Uhmm.. Eccentric is actually good because it is putting it back up in lat pulldowns. And the gravity is in the weights in front fo him, not on the handle. U lack mind-muscle connection
Its much harder to control the second part of any exercise than the first.
@@davidi3586 except on pulling exercises... its the exact opposite. concentric motion is always harder than the eccentric motion
@@pierrecohenmusic i mean it really depends and there sre exceptions. But i find its harder to control going down to the beginning positikm when dojng pull ups
Ain't these mistakes for all strength training exercises😂？
No.
