    For me a wide grip on the latpull down feels really uncomfortable in my shoulders and in the beginning of my fitness journey I think I pulled something there. So I never went back, thinking I was physically unable to do it.
    Glad I learned the truth at some point and looking back this feels kinda silly, but when you’re new to all of this, stuff like this can really drag you down.
    So thanks Dr. Mike for putting this out 👍🏻 You might’ve opened up a newbie’s eyes and kept them going

      @@mechastro2205 All are viable to build you lats. I remember picking up that gripping wider or narrower will target the outer or inner part of your lats more respectively, but I’m personally not sure if that’s completely true and how much of a difference it actually makes.
      My best advice to you would be to just try around a bit and find out what feels best to you personally. As long as you feel your lats you’re good to go.

      ​@@tinocabral4201I could only speculate as to why, but I always do narrow grip underhanded like a close chin up grip. That hits my lats pretty well.
      Why that is? I would guess that maybe the elbows tracking inward like that pre stretches the lats. And a supinated grip sort of naturally keeps them turned in. That's just a guess though.

      its the exact opposite. Both grips will hit midback. You can't isolate one from the other. Narrow grip will just get more bicep involvement due to your elbows having to bend more during the rep.

      Define no penalty. It's fine bc it works, doesn't mean it's not working on the same muscles. Wide grip is more lat do my dominant, aka becoming wide. Narrow grip is more mid dominant and uses more bicep, hence it's easier, and gives more thickness. You should use both throughout your training.

    I tried the very small attachment for lat pulldown last back day. Idk what it is called but it is basically a very narrow v shaped grip.
    I thought my lats were gonna rip off when i used it. You can stretch so fucking good with it.
    Only problem was that it was very slippery and i have weak hands + you can't use straps on it.
