is there a point doing lat pull downs if you can do pull ups?

I can't do a pullup

( ._.)

Just do alot of back exercises and practice pull ups an it will be easy

Yes.
They are a good way to work the lats directly.

They aren't great for learning to do pull-ups if you can't do a single pull-up. The movement is different and pull-ups benefit a lot from core activation that lat pulldowns don't train the same way.

If you want bigger lats, do lat pull-downs.

No. If you live on the past, you wont even consider lat pulldowns bcs it doesnt even exist. Just do pullups. These machines are only invented for the weak.

> t. dyel who does several pull ups because he weights 50lbs

I do 5 sets of weighted chinups, 3 sets of body-weight pullups, then I go onto doing a gazillion sets of different kinds of pull-downs and rows for the volume.

t. guy who can't even do 10 pullups

>he doesn't do lat pulldowns with 245 lbs

>>40478472
I normally use it for a fast warmup the days I deadlift.
It helps me on feeling my lats so it becomes easier to engage them later.

I do pull-downs 4x10 every time I'm in the gym. Not using the leg holding thing tho, so I engage my core better.

They're better for focusing on lats, IMO.

Anyone suggesting lat PD is pointless has a weak back

I do them to get some extra lat work in after I've done chins.

I do 3 sets each of rows, chins, cable rows and pulldowns, works for me.

All in the same day??????
Seems like a lot

No there is no point. Do weighted pull ups/chin-ups/parallel grip if you want big lats.
