Gironda 8x8 - Back/Triceps...

AM: Metfit 

V-Handle Negative Pulldowns - 100lbs (2 second pause at bottom)

“For bodybuilding, the lat pulldown is important for back development, especially in light of the problem with pull-ups. It creates a safer and more controlled stage for technically sound reps which hit key muscles. 


Though the pulldown and pull-up are less focused on the true mid-back, adding a pause at the peak of contraction (when the handle is at its lowest) can be a humbling experience. The amount of mid-back activation that's added by a simple one-second pause can create deep muscle soreness that lasts days after your workout”. - T Nation
