Behind The Neck Lat Pulldown Vs. In Front
http://www.SeanNal.com/articles/train...

When it comes to building thick, muscular lats, lat pulldowns are a fantastic exercise to include in your workout plan. A vertical pulling movement is a must in any well rounded back training routine, and pull ups or pulldowns are both great choices.

There are two main ways that these can be performed. First you have the standard lat pulldown that is pulled in front of your head and neck, and then you have the less common behind the neck pulldown.

But which version is superior, and why? Let's quickly take a look at the behind the neck lat pulldown vs. in front...

There are a few major problems when it comes to performing a lat pulldown behind the head...

First off, it places more stress on your spine since the movement forces you to push your head forward. Secondly, it encourages forward head posture which can cause problems for your lower back. And finally, it increases the chance of shoulder injury since it places your rotator cuff muscles into an awkward position.

So, just as I recommend performing your shoulder presses in front rather than behind your neck, I also recommend sticking to lat pulldowns pulled in front of your neck and to your upper chest. Behind the neck lat pulldowns have no real benefits in comparison to pulling in front, but they do present the very real risk of increased injury.

I'm not saying that they are guaranteed to get you hurt (obviously some people will be able to perform them without issues), but I can't see any good reason to take the risk. Scrap those behind the neck pulldowns and build your lats in the safest and most effective way by pulling to the front.
