How many sets and reps should you perform to gain strength? What's the best lat pull down variation for building width in the lats? How to gain strength in lat pulldowns when you are stuck in a plateau? Just recently one of my facebook followers sent me a message asking: "...I can't seem to move up in the weights for my Lat pull downs and on top of that if I do try to step it up my left forearm hurts badly. I have been making progress with overall muscle building, I have been able to go up in weights in all other excersises But the Lat pull downs. What would you suggest?..." When you are stuck in an exercise plateau and can't increase your strength it can be very frustrating. Especially when you are making progress in all your other exercises. But the key to improving your lat pulldowns (or any exercise for that matter) is to change your approach and do something that your body isn't used to. The easiest way to change things up is to do different exercise variations. So instead of wide grip lat pull downs, use a narrow grip, a V-bar attachment, wide parallel grip, under hand grip, or some lat pull down variation that you have never done. This will help to stimulate new muscle growth. In addition to changing up your exercise variation, you should also change up your set and rep patterns as well. One of my favorites for busting out of a training plateau is the German Volume Training Program also known as doing 10 sets of 10 repetitions. The unique thing about 10x10 workouts is that you can dramatically increase your training volume and time under tension, which will indirectly increase your strength without you having to physically lift heavier weights. Start off light and use about 70% of your regular 10 rep weight for lat pull downs and perform 10x10. When you can complete all 10 x 10 and get 100 total reps of lat pulldowns with good form, increase the weight by 5 or 10 pounds for your next workout. Keep doing this once or twice a week for 6 weeks. After going through this program you should be able to return to your normal lat pull down workout routine and feel noticeably stronger and be able to lift heavier than you did before. You can apply this strategy to virtually any exercise that you are stuck in a plateau. It doesn't have to be just pulldowns, it could be pretty much any exercise for any bodypart.
