What exerise will get the lats the biggest? thanks for any replies!

Thaibox: Deadlifts

gymtime: combination of deads, bent rows, pulldowns.

weighted wide grip pullups (the best hands down)

Deads add back thickness, and one arm DB rows and BB rows work well 2...

its not one exercise but a combo, that creates some big time wings

Totally agree with HI...I think there is a combo of things. Thickness and Width have to be attained by combinations of exercises. There can't be just one.

I agree with both....Deads and Pullups. Wait B Fold to get gere and I believewe will see something about Farmers walk.

I tried them and they kick my lats ass

The grip width of your pull-ups do not determine the width of your lats, overall development and genetics does. Wide grip is not even the best way to work the lats anyway.

Thought I'd save ya the trouble TB.

while you are correct in some regards, you are mostly wrong...

I use all different grips, some close, some wide...I also lean foward at times and then lean further back...

but going wide is essential for width (and I am not talking super stupid wide)

Actually thats completely untrue - in a compound movement like a chin-up, your lats are hit hardest by whatever allows the arm flexors to work as long as possible - when those fail, you stop chinning. So by putting your arm in the strongest position possible, you get maximum stimulation to your lats. It's simple. As far as a wide grip making your muscles (chest, back) wider, that's just not going to happen.
