    I wish I couldn't lift my arm up in the air after a lat workout.


    What are you doing for your back workout if you don't mind me asking cause it sounds pretty intense.

    you keep it simple. Nice. I do some of the same things but can't get soreness like that. I wish I could though.

    Hey uncle your number 2 is called a pull over machine, I love those things. its hard to do regular pullovers though.. If you wanna try something even harder do pull ups in place of pull downs.

    I think #2 is seated row? Do you have your chest resting against a pad or your back? If the arms are over your head and slightly behind your head at the starting point, and your back is against a pad, then that's a pullover machine.

    a little off topic but i disagree. to me DOMS means i didnt spend enough time extreme stretching.

    everybody's different...

    It's good to disagree but I think your logic is misplaced. Let me explain, Stretching if its dynamic/ballistic type can in fact produce DOMS. But I am assumming you were refering to static stretching so tho it may be true that some stretching may help soreness it does little to nothing to help with DOMS. You are reducing actic lacid buildup by stretching which is ONSET MUSCLE SORENESS which happens post workout within 12hr range. This is much different from the DELAYED which actually denotes muscle fiber breakdown can occur post 24hrs+. So if you have not experienced DOMS then perhaps you did not have enough intensity, although just because you don't did not mean you had a innefective workout. Doing eccentric training principles ie. negatives can have a desired DOMS effect.

    a couple of months ago i began warming up my back work out with 3 sets of 10 wide grip chin ups

    at first i would be light headed and out of breath, and could not finish the third set, now i can tear them up and go for 15 on the last set, then onward to deadlifts, pull downs, rows, etc.

    my lats have really grown since then

    start doing chin ups man

    Your routine looks like mine for back but I do a different order. Im sore as hell all the time and it feels great. M1T makes it all the more better too.

    Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

    there is a great debate over whether DOMS is indicative of a successful workout or not
