❌ Are You Sabotaging Your Lat Gains on Pulldowns? One of the most common lat pulldown errors is keeping your shoulders locked down throughout the entire movement. 🔬 While it feels like you're maintaining tension, you're actually restricting one of the most important drivers of muscle growth: full lat lengthening under load. 👉 During the eccentric phase (as the bar returns upward), allow your scapulae to elevate. This controlled stretch increases mechanical tension—a key factor in hypertrophy. 👉 During the concentric phase (pulling down), depress and retract your scapulae to fully engage the lats and drive force through the full range of motion. 💡 Takeaway: Let your shoulders elevate on the way up, and actively pull them down on the way down.
