EFFECTS OF GRIP WIDTH ON MUSCLE STRENGTH AND ACTIVATION IN THE LAT PULL-DOWN.

The article discusses research which compared six repetition maximum load and electromyographic activity in the lat pull-down using 3 different pronated grip widths and evaluated the effects grip width had on muscle strength and activation in the lat pull-down. Researchers evaluated 15 men who performed lat pull-downs with three grips. They found that a medium grip may have some minor advantages over small and wide grips but that similar muscle activation was seen with all grips.
