    What are some great lat exercises?

    Anyone know of some good lat exercises?

    I wanna have a better build on my lats. Ive been working our for almost a year and my back has gotten thicker, but I don't really have any width. I guess it's because I never took the lats serious. For two weeks though I decided to do just one or two exercises for back like rows and deadlifts, and then put in 3 lat exercises, usually pullups, the lat pull overs, and one armed cable rows.

    I wanna know though if anyone knows of any other good lat exercises that could help me out here. I have a pretty good build on my body, but I'm lacking lats. I want to have lats like Bruce Lee xD Check out his lats?

    If you have a pullover machine machine in your gym give it a try. Try doing it as a FST-7 fashion (7x10-15, 30-45sec rest in btwn sets and stretch and/or contract your muscles during the rest) it seems to work pretty well for most people. If you don't have that kind of machine try a cable straight arm pulldown, if you lean forward that should do the trick.
    I'd also add some heavy wide grip pulldown at the beginning of the back workout if looking for the width. Keeping it in a 6-8reps range.
