After the injury he could no longer perform wide grip pullups without experiencing great discomfort so he changed over to close grip pulldowns and was able to train without irritating his bicep tendon. Maybe he liked the close grip better after he started using them, but it was probably due to them being more user friendly. His lats attached very low, so for him they may have worked better. Who knows!? But for the masses a medium to wide grip builds the widest lats.
Moreover, Dorian swore that a lot of his lat width, if not most, came from doing pullovers on a machine.
This thread is not all about promoting my book as you will see as time moves forward. I'm going to be giving away free training tips I have learned as a personal trainer for 32 years. Yes I will be promoting my book along with LowTestosterone.com because I believe everyone (including you) will learn something from my book and I believe there's a lot of people who need Testosterone Therapy.
