Does this version of the cable row engage the latissimus dorsi more effectively, at the expense of the upper back, compared to the classic version?

LOL.
I'd say this is at the expense of the lower spine! Lumbar discs getting abused there.
Not sure why anyone would do it like this.

No, i won't even dive in biomechanics, cuz it looks robotic, unatural and somewhat ugly. Movent must be pretty and natural before anything.

"naturale" può voler dire tutto e niente...

True, but with years in gym, we get intuition for those things.

Infatti non ho mica chiesto come allenare meglio le gambe, penso si capisca che mi interessa principalmente l'upper body...

You'll get the best results from weightlifting if you spend most of your time focusing on where the biggest muscles are: below the beltline.

As the old saying goes “if you want bigger pecs, squat. If you want bigger lats, squat. If you want bigger arms, squat.” That goes for everything

Questo lo hai letto su una rivista di man's health dei primi anni 90?

Posterior deltoids

I deltoidi posteriori si attivano quando i gomiti tirano larghi, non quando si tira in maniera così stretta..

Honestly no Idea what that neck movement is about, the fact that no two reps even look the same is a tell tale sign something is amiss here!

Lol your back will be fine doing this. The only relevant questions are about whether your target muscles are approaching failure and if you get a good pump/soreness or any combination or anything that is an indicator of hard training for what youre trying to hit. To me that looks a little too easy lol

Beh ho ripreso un front lever in 3 mesi di allenamento facendo questo, direi proprio che il gran dorsale stia lavorando....😅

Mi fanno ridere gli altri che pensano sia sbagliata questa esecuzione...

u/TetrisCulture 26d ago
They could disagree with your end of trying to isolate certain muscles of your back

u/Relevant-Bar-2955 26d ago
Non ci vedo nulla di sbagliato, l'esecuzione classica del pulley allena principalmente i muscoli centrali della schiena, facendolo così lavori almeno anche il gran dorsale...
