My main staple movement for the lats are Pullups done with a supinated grip just less than shoulder width making sure to pull myself up to where the bar and my lower chest meet at the nipples or just above the nipples. Second favorite for the lats are underhand grip Dumbell Rows off an elevated flat bench. Both awesome movements once you learn to do them properly.

I have a good one. I saw Nasser in a Mr. O video backstage pumping his lats w/ standing 2 arm DB rows. I thought they looked interesting, so I incorporated them, and I really feel them. You get great range of motion, plus it's still a power movement where you can still move heavy db's.

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).

I played D1 on a scholarship for 3 years but things didnt workout so I came back home and now im playing D3, which is shitty football but at least im playing now. Anyway, power cleans always seemed to work the back shoulders and traps for me, maybe I have bad technique or something. I can throw up about 260 but no matter what the weight ive never noticed a lat burn at all.

FACE PULLS!!!!!!! Did chins 3x7, face pulls 3x10, pull downs 3x6, cable curls 3x10, barbell curls 3x8, dumbell curls 3x10. Im tryin to up my lat and biceps strength for Marine Corps training. I tried adding weight to my chins, but it didnt seem to do it for me. When I can chin 3 sets of 10 for chins, Ill start adding weight.

I'm confused. Are you on a base post-boot camp, or are you preparing for boot camp? I have always heard that all the armed forces are only concerned with resistance strength only as it relates to anaerobic endurance involving bodyweight or bodyweight + gear. I thought the emphasis was always on practical endurance, both aerobic and anaerobic?
