Standard Cable Lat Pulldowns don't tend to provide this drop off, which means to maximise challenge we have to break them into 2 parts - load the top, then a set to load the bottom. When a pulldown drops off, it better matches what we can produce in terms of torque and leads to a more efficient workout. Note that there are many other factors to consider on this machine, these are just some of the main ones I find most useful.
