IMO best way to activate lats is to keep your elbows close as possible to the body on rowing or close grip pulldowns.

Agree with Nova and BB here. The best activation for the lats is close grip pulldown palms facing, in my opinion. This has recently been discussed on a couple of other threads recently too!

Those are already a favorite staple of my workouts, but I will focus more on my form and lat activation. Thank you.

Yes with emphasis on squeezing the lats hard, keeping the chest up and out, and getting a full stretch.

Got it. Chest up, fullest stretch and most focused contraction possible. Elbows close together. Thanks guys.
