    tips for width

    just wondering if anyone has any exercises that focus solely on widening the upper body as far as lats, chest, and shoulders. i'm plenty thick, but i'm sure there's some exercises out there to work on width specifically. thanks.

    i think you will see a good increase in widht if you train your back with any exercise be it BB rows, tbar rows, seated rows, ect. as long as you are training it on teh same plane as your chest. so the opposite of the bench press is what i'm trying to say. this has been the case for me personally... i'm also looking forward to what works for the other guys too.

    Wide grip chins and wide grip pulldowns. Really stretching it at full extention as well. Helps me feel it a lot more in the outer part of my lats.

    Vertical pulling movements (pullups, chinups, lat pulldowns) for the lats.

    widest grip pullups you can do, that will give you good width, same with cable rows, i find those are always great

    i'd suggest staying away from any cable exercises
    pull ups instead of pull downs
    bb row instead of cable row

    flies work my outer chest pretty well
