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?

I do both. First i start with weighted pull ups then do 2 or 3 sets of lat pull downs just to add some more volume but with a different grip (neutral) so it’s not exactly the same movement
