    I used to do massive amounts of pullups during MMA training circuits, when I started bodybuilding I found I pull ups didn't seem to have much of an effect on me. I started doing heavy lat pulldowns, with emphasized negatives, drop sets, and other intensity techniques, and they've helped me a ton, after about a month my back was noticeably wider, and I get a much better pump.

    ^I agree w/mace 1988.

    Try heavy lat pull downs (but controlled and good form) both wide grip, and close grip. Include dead lifts as well as some row exercise.

    interesting...I never thought about doing heavy negatives on lat pull down. Going to give them a try!
