Why is it not advisable to perform seated lat pull-downs with the end point being behind the neck?
  1. Places excessive stress on the shoulder joint and cervical spine
  2. Causes excessive low-back hyperextension
  3. Can cause hyperextension of the rotator cuff complex
  4. Creates excess hypertrophy in the trapezius
Explanation
Answer - A - It is not advisable to perform seated lat pull-downs with the end point being behind the neck because it places excessive stress on the shoulder joint and cervical spine. Many exercises carry this risk if performed with the head craning forward, such as the push-up, prone iso-abs, and cable rows.
