This has to do w/ Pull-ups vs Pulldowns.
I've never done Pull-ups until recently. Reason, I guess I was to heavy and to weak in the lats to do them. Always done pulldowns with different grips.
Ok now here is how many wide grip pull-ups I can do and this is all the way up with chin above bar and down to a full hang.
Set 1.......4
Set.2.......4 w/ last rep barely getting chin above bar
Set 3.......3 and rep 4 to about eyes
Now why are those better then doing 8-12 heavy reps utilizing wide grip pulldowns
