I just do lat pulldowns, both single arm and close grip with both arms. It has gotten much easier, now that I am used to the movement. I had a problem when I first started doing these, because I could not really feel them. I guess this was because the back muscles are some of the strongest in your body. I could probably use more weight on the one where you use both hands, but the machines at the gym don't go up that high. I can go about another 10 pounds or so, and that is it.
Just do what the directions tell you. Take two tylenol and keep away from children |

Sounds like you are pulling down a good amount of weight. WOW! I have a lat machine in my home and I use it for many things besides back exercises.

Not really. With the close grip bar, the most you can do (because it is on 1 pulley is 80#. I will let you know when I can do 80# on the single arm pulldowns. Do you use your lat machine to hang up your clean clothes?? LOL!!

LOL You are such a riot and I needed that laugh right now Thank you! NO, I do not hang my clothes but you must be psychic because i also hang the pilates resistance bands attached to the top of the lat machine.. I lay on my back and do pilates type exercises with the resistance bands.
