this is a great video! i usually combine the two. I do a WOD based of weighted pullups and then a wod more Hypertrophyc with chin ups. I had great results with that!
Hey Jake. Great breakdowns of both movements. This video got me to revisit your video about pull-ups not being not the best for hypertrophy, specifically for the lats. I wanted to see if you can reconcile between the two videos and share any updated thoughts. I’m sure there will be “it depends” because everyone has different goals.
For sure! It's funny, my thoughts have kind of evolved on this topic since that video so this is a fun ask. I think if the goal is hitting the lats/upper back muscles in general, then pull-ups can be great. However, my main pauses with them for hypertrophy for most lifters revolve around the amount of skill required to perform them and the fact that you'll typically have areas like grip be limiters before you can take the lats to true task failure. For example, if my goal is hitting the mid-lat fibers, I'd rather use a braced rowing variation because I can get closer to failure without sweating grip and I can better isolate what I'm doing.
Awesome video, thanks a lot Jake! Got one question, what would be the main differences between a pull up and lat pull down machine? Say in terms of strength/hypertrophy
Great question. IMO, skill + fatigue would be two of the bigger considerations here. In the lat pulldown, you'll be able to take back muscles closer to failure before other areas of the body fatigue. In a pull-up, you'll have grip capacity be a limiter before the back muscles get close to failure. Both can be good, but if the goal is really focusing on the back muscles with a vertical pulling exercise then the lat pulldown can typically be performed at higher capacities to get that adaptation. Strength wise, same principles would apply!

Good tutorial, love this exercise comparison videos💪🏼
Ayyy! Appreciate you checking it out 🤝
thanks Jake
Thanks for checking it out!

@@thatfitfriend got it, thank you for the detailed response 🙂
Jefferson Up...
😂😂😂
@@thatfitfriend you gotta do it now.
Jake!! Project rock 6 review please 🤣
Have a pair coming next week :)
Your workout series are great!! also, just to add what you said, on pull-up, it’s more brachialis instead of biceps because the hands are pronated.
Great addition here!
