Reply to "Pull Downs Velocity"

Pull downs, if implemented as part of a complete training program, are useful in pushing the body to reorganize new capacity to perform a specific mechanical function (throwing) in response to a greater load.  Done alone, a pull down is likely useless and potentially increasing risk of injury.  

The idea is to first build additional capacity in the form of strength, stability and mobility and then force the body to recruit as much of that new capacity as possible as quickly and efficiently as possible through placing a high load on the body and allowing the body to organize itself.

Additionally, the pull down also patterns intent and trains the mind and body to throw with intent without “muscling up”.
