My lats exploded ever since I started doing lat pulldown and now it's just ridiculous.

Weird thing with lat pulldowns, I used to usually did a heap of sets easily but lately doing the same weight has become much more difficult, strange.

lat pulldowns are on of my favorite lifts. Maxed out around 180 pounds before the end of spring

You're over training

haha this is giving me veteran flashbacks of shoulder press last week. i used to be able to press like 27.5kgs each hand but now i dont have a spot and I can only hit 25kgs. despite this, machine shoulder press lets me press 95kg for 4 good reps. :o

"same weight" - mix up your routine (weights/number of sets/reps/etc), you'll get better results

When I say "same weight" I mean I use multiple weights for each set (eg x kilos x15 reps then y kilos x15 reps) but the x and y are usually the same each time I go.
As for sets and reps they usually vary on their own, I'm not really one for sticking to a strict routine, I just go till I stop.

Oh, you should increase the weight regularly though. What I try to do is do stick to the same weight then increase in the following week (I train a muscle group twice in a week).
Sounds like you have too much volume in your workouts though, are you tryna bulk or become lean?

50kg dumbell shrugs, that stuff's intense yo

After working for 7 1/2 hours today I did that crossfit workout and it was awesome.

Felt amazing to get back to it and I did some new exercises

did 1x12x185 for deadlift
1x10x95 for cleans

wasnt bad but wasnt as good as possible because work is killer.
then I did 4 sets of
25 air squats
20 pushups
15 box jumps
10 burpees
5 dips
in 10 minutes

then we did some other exercises. It was pretty good but the turnout for kids wasnt great.
Oh and I got a 5.3 on my 40yard which Im pretty upset about

this topic is just-
