How to: Lat Pulldown 101 šŖ
The lat pulldown is one of the most commonly butchered exercises in the gym.
In this video, I show you how I coached a Strongman competitor turned bodybuilder to perform a lat pulldown that better matches her new hypertrophy-focused goals.
We spent THREE HOURS filming every cue, tip, and coaching point I've learned over the past 18 years working with everyone from beginners to elite athletes.
This is just a preview.
Eventually, this will become a standalone course alongside my Bodybuilding Anatomy & Meathead Biomechanics 101 series (I'm currently finishing Squats 101).
Until then...

This is for entertainment and education only; this is NOT direct medical advice.
Dr. Christopher "Dr. Marv" Marvin DC is the founder of Coastal Performance Chiropractic in Seabrook, Texas, where he helps athletes, lifters, and active individuals overcome pain and improve performance through evidence-based rehabilitation, strength & conditioning principles, and performance nutrition.
He earned his B.S. in Exercise Science from Sonoma State University and graduated as valedictorian from Palmer College West with his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Dr. Marv serves as the team chiropractor for the Bay Area Rugby Club (BARC) men's and women's teams and has worked with everyone from everyday gym-goers to elite strength athletes, including serving as a chiropractor at the Official Strongman Games World Finals and helped some competitors at the Arnold Sports Festival World's Strongest Firefighter competition.
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Marv is an educator, speaker, and content creator for The Educated Meathead. He has taught seminars across the country, developed training programs for athletes and bodybuilders, and created the Bodybuilding Anatomy & Meathead Biomechanics 101 online course. He also previously co-hosted the Between Two Dumbbells podcast, with its episodes still available here on YouTube. He even developed and programmed comprehensive strength & conditioning programs for a junior collegiate baseball team.
Having personally undergone nine surgeries, multiple major injuries, and years of chronic pain, Dr. Marv understands what it's like to be on both sides of healthcare. That experience shaped his mission: helping people move better, perform better, and regain confidence in their bodies.
His philosophy is simple: You are NOT broken. You are NOT fragile.
His treatment goal is just as clear: Finding SOLUTIONS over BAND-AIDS.
