How much can you pull down?

  I can use the entire stack(around 100kg of resistance only,I know there are more resistance on other types of pulldown machines) on the pull down machine for 4-5 reps using a supinated grip.
  
  Mind you,this is the first time I go heavy on the pull down-usually I do them light as warm ups for my pull ups.

  My lat pulldown goes to 150kg - stack still too easy but why lat pulldown for max - chin - throw 50kg around your waist and see how many you do...
  
  Also band training with chins - attach the heavy resistance band to the floor using a weight the wrap around the shoulders and back of the neck. As you pull up the resistance increases.

  I guessed you would have.
  
  You also have to remember that depending the pully system the load may differ from machine to machine. So 100kg in one gym my be 130kg in another and 80kg in another.
