For some time I've been doing pulldowns on a machine as a part of my routine. I know it's supposed to work your lats but it is mainly my bicep that gets sore and limits the workload/number of reps. Week ago a trainer saw me and fixed my movements but honestly I couldn't tell if I was doing anything better. Today I tried to recreate that but I have no idea if I'm still doing them the way he showed me. I also tried different variations of pulldowns (close/wide/reverse grip) and cable rows and I realized I don't even know where/how am I supposed to feel lats in the first place. I watched some videos on the proper technique but from my perspective they all boil down to "push your chest forward and your shoulders backward at the end of the movement" - is that enough to do them properly?
I don't want to sound demanding since I'm asking strangers on the internet for a free advice, but I feel like another video or instruction will not help. Is there maybe some other easier fool-proof excercise or a method that'll help me to understand how to feel, flex and work lats on a pulldown machine?
