Lat Help

[Juturna]

I attached a picture but I'd appreciate some advice on how to improve my lat region. I'm having trouble widening them and would like to hear some of ''your guys' '' ideas on lat work-outs.

Chin ups/Pull ups, and underhanded barbell rows are the key.

you just gotta add mass man. pullups are aum supreme, so are yates rows and one arm dumbells. dont forget DL's.

fixed pull downs are great

pull ups aswell

stiff leg deadlifts work wonder to for ur lats

BUT as said above u need to add MASS

since when do stiff legged deadlifts work lats?

Here is what I do for Width..

4 sets of wide grip pull ups with bodyweight to failure (usually 12-14, 10,10,8)
2 sets of lat pull downs Heavy (8,6)

Thank you for the advice guys, I appreciate all the help.

Please read my other thread.

yup, pull ups varying the width of the grip. Back is my best muscle and I like to go wide on most of my pulldown movements

I love me some back exercises. Straight arm pushdowns on the machine are good too. Won't do much for any athletic ability, but do add some width to your lats. Nice as a change of pace from time to time

Try doing lat stretching before and during your workout. Jay Cutler does them in his videos. Its supposed to help growth,and try dumbbell pullovers aswell.
Combine my tips with heavy basic compound movements for your lats.

deads, BB rows, and chins. I include 1 of those in every back workout.

Eat.

No offense to what some of the guys said above, but I wouldn't do straight arm push downs or dumbell pullovers for back...maybe ever. Deadlifts, barbell rows, chin ups, and quality food is the key.

I second that.
