I want wings, damnit

[the People's Champ]

don't suggest deads because I do these and they don't focus too much on bringing out the width on my back. I want freaking LATS. my back is pretty thick for my build, but, I do not have the width. kick me down with some lat exercises or even a routine.

weighted chins
lat pull downs
behind the neck pull downs
db row
stiff arm pull down

My best body part would be my lats. All I basically do is lat pull downs and seated cable rows. It could just be genetics though.

Ever heard of the Scott Lat Pull?

This is my Freaky lats workout

4 sets of bent over barbell row (dorian yates no.1 exercise for freaky lats)

3 sets of t-bar rows (alternate between small and normal grip)

3 sets of one armed dumbell rows

2 sets of lat pulldowns (5 reps to rear and then turn around and to 5 reps to the front)

Freaky lats here the come

 

[negaun]

pull ups and barbell rows all the way!!

I am sorry but this is not a good exercise I would not do these. Why mess up you rotator cup when their is so many other exercises that to a better job anyway.

stiff arm pull down

Try slightly wider grip deads????

Deads build bakc mass right? Reason they build it in the center is because of hand positioning. Bring out your hands a bit and you will be hitting outer portions of lats!

I used to be a "weighted chins for wings" dude, but lately i have come to re-appreciate lat pulldowns to front with medium grip.

The key is not to move the torso to avoid momentum and really squeeze the lats until the bar touches the upper chest.

A nice twist is to do 8 strict reps front pulldown and/or when you can no longer let the bar touch the chest, u change immediately change your grip to close reverse grip and crank out another 6 reps.....

Also I think dumbell rows are a must for every back workout.

And T-bar I think is one of the most underestimated lat builders around (everybody is jumping on the bent row train since yates , and for some good reasons but i feel it's primarely a upper back beefer) T-bars really hit the lower and middle lats. Problem is most ego trainees put on heavy weight and do them allmost standing upright to move that kind of weight. No, keep bent over and steady and put SMALL plates on the barbell to have a greater range of motion
