Hey bros. So for some reason I can’t seem to perform a lat pulldown straight. I don’t know why this is happening or what is the cause. I’ve been training for years, and caught this recently. Obviously this wasn’t happening before or I would of noticed it.
So the left side is higher than the right. This isn’t a matter of one side being stronger than the other. I am literally in that tilted position before I even start the set. So let’s say I grab the bar and sit down and just allow the weight to stretch me up before I perform the first rep. I will already get pulled into that tilted position (left side higher, than right) prior to performing my first pulldown. No injuries or anything like that recently...

A few things I should mention...
This does not happen if I use a narrow grip vertical pull down. It also does not happen if I use a wide grip on a horizontal cable row. Something has to be triggering this In my upper trap or shoulder area? I really don’t know...but no matter how hard I focus I cannot pull the bar straight down.
