was the gym trainer a big guy with a massive back???
I would err on the side of no lol

If you concentrate and use correct form you can actually pull with your lats rather than using your bis, im sure 9pack will have a detailed description on how to perform this

Reverse grip pulldown was my favourite lat movement until I busted my wrist and now don't have the rotation to do it.

I may actually get a bar made that is just off set, as I like it that much.

Do it right and there should be no more bicep in it than any other back movement, form is the key.

No he won't. I have the worst lack of rotation in the wrists you have ever seen so I have never been able to do them. Same goes for barbell curls with a straight bar or curl grip bent over rows. There is no way of disengaging the biceps from this movement. The lats are the prime mover, but the biceps are a very strong synergist.

I'd advise using a bar that is about 60cms long max with parrallel handles at each end (held palms facing) & try pulldowns like that.

we have a V shaped chinning bar in gym, pretty good as negates all that wrist twisting stuff,

get on of those made up

Re: Best For Lat Width....
I have a slight injury to my quad/knee and have been told to leave deads and squats for a few weeks, but I was just wondering would just below the knee rack pulls be a good substitute for full deads for the time being?

I've screwed up a disc or two in my back so all I'm doing at the moment is partial SLDL's from just belwo the knee, a bit like rack lock outs.
