lat pulldowns

Is it just me, or is the first bit (top to bent halfway) much easier than the last bit (halfway to chest)? Do I have some unusually weak muscle group or something?

    I know what you mean. It does seem like its easier from the start, I think its because- on the initial pulldown, your back is being used to pull to a certain point- then around halfway down it switches to your shoulders and chest to complete the pulling motion. I don't know about you but my back is much stronger than my shoulders and chest. Hope that helps.
