Lats. never soar. why

[Jeffthepump]

I cant seem to work out my lats well. I do lat pull downs, and the one with one leg fully extended and one knee on the bench, bent over, raising dumbell up to chest and back down...

What should I be doing to work my lats. Im not strong enuf to to a pullup. Im six foot 6 and my arms are freaky long. Its really hard. What should I do? I wanna rape them tomoro in the gym.

Thanks guys!

Dude work on the pullups!
I did wide grip pullups yesterday, and my lats are so freaking sore today (granted I'm smaller than you, but still...)

[UCFBuilder]

what is begining to work for me is to really focus on those bent over rows....really focus on ur form...drop the wieght if u have too...that wide grip pullups as a warm-up, lat-pulldowns and some seated rows are all good exercises....worry about form on these exercises tho not weight

[TheProphecy]

jump pullups.

if you don't get sore, you did it wrong. k?

[Fundayz]

You will not get impressive lats without pull ups(all kinds ofc). Do them.

[pawncakes]

as they have all said. pullups are key. jump up to a pullup so that you start at the top of the movement and then just do negatives. Do those until you can do a real pullup.

This.

Drop the weight and do the strictest form you can.

lats.used to your work out.why

[Jeffthepump]

I might do the pullup negatives. Say that I do lat pull downs, bent over rows and negative pullups. reps/sets? I figure ill do the negative until failure.

Before you worry about that, work on your form. You'll be amazed at how much you feel it in your lats if you really lower the weight and concentrate on form.

bb rows really don't need strict form

[Fundayz]

At the point your at, you don't need to worry too much about reps; as long as you really stress your muscles you will grow. I aim for 8 really solid reps though.

Also, for lat pull downs grip the bar with your thumb on the outside, it'll put more stress on your lats and less on your bi's

doesn't have to be on a bench. it's for people lacking pullup strength. btw it's not me. i tried doing a one arm jump pull-up, felt my lats engaged so fking much...i could picture the lat being used

[Adrenolin]

ADRENO, you have two usernames.. how many sets does it take you to do 300 of each??

and when are you going to udate the black kryptonite thread?

sigh, you fail, i've seen and heard of people doing it to and fro, stfu.

[CDeniz]

lol. Op if you cant do pullups yet, watch this video. I suggest doing the second version.

[Moody72]

terrible grammar.

That is true but a lack of soreness is a great indication that you could have done more

[cheezuz]

i have to admit i barely feel any lat workouts in my lats... pullups I feel in my arms, same with rows. yet, i still have pretty good lats.

so, **** it, it's working even if you dont feel it.

js it will make your lats sore if you use more volume.

no..**looks around, ** maybe...
I do 300 over the course of a week, usually only 100 in a day. Takes about 6-7 sets on pullups, for chins its 4-5.

I don't use supplements anymore....I dropped that log and everything in it when I found out I may have a chance to play d1 football for va tech next year.

if you wanna rape them, try this - reverse crip chin ups and then after do some dumbell pull overs - I did them and thats the ONLY TIME my lats have ever hurt - I used to do lat pull downs and wide crip, nothing... do 4 sets of 12-8 reps. and db pull overs 12 12 12

[monatu]

Only time my lats get sore is when I do a 2-3 second hang at the bottom rep of every pullup. When I start doing my chins/pullups quicker and not pausing as much my lats arent sore
