@yahleel Highly doubt it matters beyond preference. I like 1. best - progressions & regressions. If one set has your tank empty, one set is probably enough, anyway!

@allyssandra It's the same exact movement of the upper arm. I'm not a beginner at this stuff; I understand the things you're explaining, but I don't think you're right about the last sentence in your second paragraph there. The animation shows that the lat can bring the upper arm behind the...

@allyssandra Doesn't look it it?

@mstreet Nope... But you are definitely a rude meathead.

@mstreet [facepalm] I have already-alluded-to reasons for asking. I have been doing other 'proper' lat exercises for 100 years. Thank you for your contribution. /s

@lucaannibale You've been dropping weight like crazy the entire time you've been strength training? With weight-loss like that, you've done well even to remain at the same level of strength, trust me. Some are saying you need to eat a lot to bulk. Well, I don't know. You're at 20% - not very...

@sbrodhagen So Anatomy Lab's wrong?

@sbrodhagen

@vloggle EDIT: P.S. I'm not a beginner and have had nooo problem activating my lats or understanding the basics of their function & common exercises, so this isn't the issue here.

@helexzy Too much for what? To be able to function afterwards? Apparently! For hypertrophy? Probably, yeah! For cultivating incredible endurance in the bodyweight squat? No! :-)

Imagine I stand upright with a dumbbell in a hammer grip. I lift the dumbbell vertically while keeping my elbow tucked--NOT winged out as if I'm doing a typical upright row for side delts. So my upper arm, beginning parallel with my torso, is extending back behind the line of my torso. This...

@123vicky Yes! :-)

@123vicky With such slow reps, I don't see how anyone can argue that your low rep-count matters. It would seem like magical thinking, that there is something special about 'a rep'. If you were battering these reps out one-per-second, then yeah, I would say it's suboptimal.

@jamie113 Do what you like! :-) For hypertrophy, there aren't important differences between the two. If you can't do many reps of things like chinups, regress to easier variants.
