If you can't do a pull up, like a lot of people then do the negative portion but controlled, don't just step up on a bench, grab the bar and drop to the floor.....you have to hold yourse;f up and let yourself own slowley. Pretty soon you'll be able to pull yourself up. Pull-ups are by far the best......pull downs are ok but I don't think you get as much out of them as you do pull-ups.

thanks guys. I have a gym sort of at home that i use you cant really call it that but lol. It has bar and a few weights a bench but no incline/decline and we have a few dumbells. We can do miltary press,barbell curls no prob and if we get dumbell and pull up from ground to the side of ur body when we are leaning over will that increase lats??
sorry if its confusing.
Thanks

I agree benches, behind the the neck military press rocks, but for lats I would have to save pullups are the best movement you can do, I can't do many so I as juggernaut said do negatives and your back will hurt until the next time you do them.

I cant do wide grip pullups yet at my weight so i do them assisted and little by little i drop more weight until one day i'll be able to do my body weight. hopefully soon. another good one i just tried last week is the seated cable row with the wide grip pull down bar. not sure if does lats 100% since you are pulling straight in but my lats felt real good.

i personally wouldn't recommend anyone doing behind the next pulldowns or presses, its not worth the risk. I through my neck out a couple times doing them and will never do them again. Even if they are the best excersize for mass and strength it's not gonna pay off when your forced to take a week or 2 weeks or more off to recover after you **** something up, there's plenty of ways you can work your lats, so with that said i would recommend doing a safer excersize IMO

1.Pull-ups-- king
2.Straight arm pull over-- a forgotten movement

BTW..there is no 'best' workout.
The only was to progress is to learn to do (what appears to be even the simplest of) exercises correctly. Improper form makes even the best movements useless

1. Wide grip lat pulldowns to the front
2. Close grip lat pulldowns with v-bar
3. Seated cable rows with v-bar
4. Standing straight arm pulldwowns
5. Deads
Do those for 8 weeks and if your lats/back aren't improved, there's something wrong with you.

It's funny everyone thinks pullup's are top when The two best back's credit their back's the most to Bent Row's, Dorian Yates and Ronnie Coleman.

weighted pullups, and believe it or not, deadlifts are what have given me the back i have today.

Pull-ups deads heavy tbar rows

T-bars and bent over rows are the king for middle back, do em both for width and thickness. Also make sure u use the muscles u want to grow, i know this sounds obvious, but a lot of people simply pull the bar with their arms, instead of squeezing the lats to bring the weight up.

Rope pulls are also good for the serratus and lats.

Negatives as described above once a week and pull ups then negative once a week.
When I started I could do three pull ups, now I can do four sets of ten with a plate hanging from my belt. I do negatives with two plates.
Pull downs are BS, unless you keep you body completely still and correctly initiate the movement. 99.9% of the people in the gyms are rocking back and forth working everything except their lat.
Pull up are the proof in the pudding. Can't knock off ten? Do negatives until you can. If you can do ten, add weight and do heavy negatives.
Six coat sizes in two years. It works.
