Measuring them can be done either way, but if you measure them pumped put it at the end, for example: 17.4 pumped or 17.2 nopump
i lat pull just enough so i can do it slow and not jerky at all, normally about 110."When i get dusted i love to spread the blood like mustard."

I dont know what is it in pounds but I lat pull 28 out of 30, and I think they are all 15lb plates so whatever that comes out to. As far as the arm measurement goes, if you measure them pumped they will be larger than they are unpumped, so whatever measurement you take always compare it to the same method next time.

for sure you measure the arms unflexed. As for pump, I do mine without a pump but if they are pumped then just post that you measured when they were pumped.

It really really depends on the machine. I can do 270 on one machine, but only 130 on another. It has to do with the pulleys or whatnot in the machine and how much load they take off. Better to ask people how many pullups they can do, or how many they can do with weight added since gravity is constant

Don't do lat pull down, wide grip weighted pull ups.

weighted pull ups are the way to go.
Right now someone is training harder than you. When you meet him...he will beat you.
