Help me get my Lat Pulldown weight up

[Amphibious]

I struggle with pull/chin ups too

How much y'all doing on WIDE grip and for what reps.

And how much y'all doing with CLOSE grip and for what reps.

I got sick twice within the past 2 months and missed back week twice

But my LAT PULLDOWN/PULL/CHIN-up game is struggling brehs.

My dead-lift and row/ dumbbell row aint bad though

Only thing to it is to do it

Lats recover fast... they are a huge muscle..... dont tell me u on some ol hippie once a week bullshyt..... hit them lat pulldowns/chins like 3-4 times a week. And dont be afraid to use straps or use an ideal grip width. Wide vs narrow grip is bullshyt, pick 1 width that gives you the most range of motion (not too wide) without hurting your wrists (not too narrow)

I was up to 3x10x230 on lat pulldowns before I started my cut

Lat Pulldown is one of those exercises I tend to after if hit back pretty hard already. I care more about the contraction than the weight moved.

Pulls and chins you just gotta do them. Once I could get consistent 10-12 reps I started doing weighted variations for 5x5.

I do lat pulldowns 5 times a week and increase weight once a week. 10 reps, 5 sets.

Only way you'll get the weight up is by increasing the damn weight. For me slightly wider than shoulder width is comfortable.

Also I wouldn't put much thought into what other people say they can do because form varies so much. I see people consistently coming of the seat for leverage. As long as you are getting a good contraction with minimal momentum from movement that is likely the best route.

Thanks brehs.

Can't remember the last time I did lat pulldowns consistently...pullups breh...just do em. 2 every 10 minutes for a hour. Work your way up.

I workout at home so I can only do pullups but that slow and controlled pullup pump though

3-4 times a week really? I only do once a week, tried p/p/l off p/p/l but i dunno im not really feeling 6 days a week. im on a 4 day split work everything once a week

And if you can't do that, do negatives. Jump to the top of the rep and go down as slow as possible.

U can do more, that once a week shyt is over over, everyone who knows ya told ya. Hit everything at least twice a week, three times for lagging parts.

U dont have to go 6 days a week... just do an upper lower split instead of push/pull etc. Antagonizing supersets (i.e. supersetting a push move with a pull move) will be your friend. At the minimum hit laggin body parts twice a week. I hit arms 3x/week and saw nice gains. U dont have to do a lot each day either. 1-2 movements per body part is enough.

whats your workout routine? if your not doing your lat pull downs first that might be the issue. and how long have you been working out? if for a while then strength gains come slow

Chest/Biceps day #1 @ Gym

Shoulders/Triceps day #2 @ Gym

Back/Legs day #3 @ Gym

In gym for 1 hour and 15 minutes-20 minutes

Been lifting since age 15 but just started out again about 20-22 weeks ago.

I got some tips from a guy who did the whole 260 stack for 10 reps last night though. I got the formula down from him for how to achieve a better weight set on it. I mean, it goes for all muscles but for some reason my lat pull-down / chin up game is whack compared to my other muscles. My rows are good and dead-lift but my lat pull down/chin-up is Larry Holmes status
