trouble growing wings

[ddiffey]

Hi second post,

I was told I didn't give any info about myself last time so here's some info before my question. I'm 6'1 220lbs/ bf% not sure, I used a calculator online and it said 18%.

Not looking to get massive like Coleman or those guys I'm looking to be more like Draper big and cut, but at around 200lbs. 250 or 300lbs I don't think my joints can handle that!

Anyway on to my question I'm having a hard time getting my lats to grow I mean my back is strong and all I just can't get the flare out .

Am'I doing to many excersises to hit the middle and not enough to hit the outside. Should I concentrate more on pull downs, chin ups and stop doing heavy rows for a bit? Any help would be welcomed!

try weighted chins with your hands about 4 in past shoulder width that should be far enough without hitting your rear delts too much

Check out these links. My lats have improved substantially since doing the exercise as described in them:

Also pullups are great.

I dunno if it's true or not, but I read one time that one of the reasons Franco Columbu had the wing like lats that he had was because of his deadlifts. I think he probably did a lot of chin-ups though.

 

[gettinripped]

use a lat mchine and use under hand grip as opposed to over hand grip, sort of a chin up while sitting. i use this technique and my lats are sore for days afterwards

Pullups and deads.

 

[JL_204]

do heavy barbell rows and wide-grip pullups. Stay in the 4-6 rep range on these and increase the wieght every week.

Then one day you'll do a front lat spread in the mirror and the wings will come out of nowhere.

Also, EAT!!! EAT damnit!!!
