back training

[anima]

hello


whenever i'm training back, forearms always give out before back does... is that normal or do i need to work on forearms? i find a significant amount of fatigue on the forearms when i'm doing reverse lat pull downs.

and how high/low should your seat be when your doing pull downs? should you be able to grip the bar when you are completely seated with the feet planted on the ground?

thanks

- reverse grip uses more forearms than pronated grip...maybe try a hook grip, i use that for most exercises, not sure why but i feel stronger that way...heavy deadlifts will help the best though
- you probaby shouldn;t be able to reach the bar from the seat but you shouldn;t come out ofnthe seat either...it should be high enough that you need to stand and grab the bar before getting in the seat...if the seat doesn't rise that high use more chain...what's wrong with pull / chin ups?

It's fairly natural to lose strength in a smaller muscle than a larger one.

One reason why you may feel more of a burn in your triceps than your chest when you bench.
