working the lats

[Themachine01]

I have seen great results since incorporating bent over rows with palms facing up. The other thing I like to add while cutting is 2 drop sets of cable cable rows, shooting for 8 reps each drop, talk about a burn in the lats.

Heavy deads.

try some power cleans

Heavy deadlifts.

It's really interesting that you should say that because my lats never hurt more than after a heavy dead session. Still, it seems strange to me that deads should work the lats so well.

I'd highly recommend the Pullover Machine if your gyn has one. My Lats REALLY took off while using it!! I like doing straight sets for 8-10 reps, but every now and then try a set of Pullovers before doing Rows(T-Bar, Seated, or Regular). Your Lats will EXPAND!!!!!

i forgot all about pullovers, havent done them in a while. How are the power cleans done?

Ive been doing power cleans for almost 7 or 8 years now cause I play football and ive never thought of them as a good lat workout at all. Very good strength lift though

Old fashioned pull-ups with weight

Just keep adding wieght with a belt. I was a Marine at one point they went to dead hang pull ups with no "kip" or extraneous movements for their physical fitness test, I started doing dead hang pull ups and adding weight. You will be amazed at how quickly your weights will increase, and the width and thickness you will add in your lats. Start with 10 pounds ( or 5, or 2.5, whatever) you will go up SO quickly, I did anyway. And never do a pullup again without that extra weight. It works man.

Weird, they kill my lats. How much weight are you using?

What level of football do you play? I'm walking on to my university's team (D1).
