Behind the neck Lat Pull Downs may be damaging to the shoulder joint. When executing the movement in that manner, you must lean forward with the trunk and put stress on the shoulder joint with external rotation and horizontal abduction. This is a weak position for the shoulder. The increased weight is likely due to the involvement of the trunk and hip flexors.
