I dont understand how my triceps can hurt doing lat pulls. I sit at the machine, and granted Im short so I have to stand to pull the bar down, the lock my legs in... But, the first reps I feel this pinching sensation in my tri's. Why? It only happens during the pulling phase of the exercise. Once I get the bar to my chest, no more pain. It happens at lower weights, high weights I dont seem to feel it. Any thoughts?

If you push down past your chest you'll feel it in your tris... Otherwise you shouldn't.

But its not when the bar is at my chest, its when my arms are extended and I begin the rep. Its that first effort that causes the pinch, once I pull the bar down beyond halfway the pinch stops.
