widen my lats!!

[fallenangel]

I was looking at myself in the mirror today and i'm coming on Ok everywhere for my frame and weight but i noticed (other than my upper chest which i'm gonna hammer with inclines) my lats aren't wide enough. They are Ok in terms of thickness but has anyone got a routine for widening to help the old v taper. cheers

weighted wide gripe pullups. Addd those to your routine and watch your back grow.

Wide grip pullups until you can do 50..........then do weighted pullups.

People are going to tell you to do alot of wide grip pulldowns but a medium grip on it will overload it just as well if not more.
Heres something I reccomend:

--Chins ( 2 sets)-use weight if you can
-Rack Deadlifts from just below the knee---stand up with it and tense your lats at the top. You will feel the whole lat get SWOLE.
- Nautilus Pullovers

WHy wait until 50? Add weight as soon as you can-and do them correctly IMO. Lots of guys when bulking cant even do 15.

 

[Busterball]

1) 4 sets of chins up to failure (Last one add weight)
2) Wide Grip pull downs (Hold the end of the bar)
3) T-Bar pull ups with a wide grip
4) Overhead pull overs
5) Seated row
6) Hyperextentions

Do this for 4 weeks and your lats will grow like a weed!!!

Wide chins (or pulldowns) concentrating on the stretch and deadlifts will help.
