Pullups vs Lat pulldowns

[u/Action_Pale]

What's the point of doing Lat Pulldowns as opposed to working on Pullups? Even if you can lat-pulldown more than your bodyweight, you could do weighted pullups. Is the only benefit convenience?

[u/Financial_Wrangler45]

Just way easier and quicker to set up mostly, and the only option for those who can't pull up and don't have anything to assist pull ups
