To perform a lat pushdown you need access to a cable machine and a straight bar attachment. So to properly answer that question, we first need to talk about the differences between the two exercises. Essentially, he was asking which exercise would produce the most gains or a bigger and thicker back and now that brings us here. But luckily we both had the same exercise in mind and we trained together and during the sets we started chatting about different back exercises and he asked me if I ever do the dumbbell pull-over.
You know, that awkward moment where you both look at each other and say “Oh, sorry man, were you using that?” haha. Fit Expo and met a subscriber who was training BACK and we both arrived at the cable machine at the same time.
This topic came up because I was recently training at a 24 hour fitness while at the L.A. Now if you’ve missed any of the videos in this series, I’ll post the link to the entire playlist HERE. Today we’re going to continue the VERSUS series by comparing the Lat Pushdown to the Dumbbell Pull-Over.
