Gainin those latssssss

[Josh1223]

Sup.

Gonna keep it simple

Best excerses for lats? Idk how to perform lat pulldowns properly, any tips?

My pull is:

Deadlifts
Barbell rows
Lat pull downs
Close grip lat pull downs
Then biceps.

I don't know how to make the wide grip lat pulldowns hit my lats. Any tips?

Also any recommend lat workouts that I should perform?

Please and thank you in advance!

Keep your elbows out, use your arms as hooks and pull with your elbow. Use straps to minimise bicep use.

A little wider than shoulder width grip pulldown
Underhand barbell rows
Shoulder width grip pull ups

Can't get the volume you need doing pullups alone.

1 arm DB rows...and do drop set on last set

Don't go too wide on lat pull downs. Add pullups. Vertical movements build width and horizontal build thickness.

The amount of guys I have seen in the gym with terrible lat pull down form.
If you imagine it as a 2 part movement (but should always be performed as 1)

Bring the bar down until your arms are horizontal, then down but as I said before, make it fluid.
If you can't lift the weight down without jerking around, lower it.

Don't be that guy who is essentially laying down on the eccentric.

Some Heavy Barbell Rowing
Whether it's t- bar rows or bent over rows/pendlay rows

and weighted wide grip pull ups

All you need

[NaturalFTW]

How wide do you guys actually go for pull-ups? im curious. I personally do a bit more than shoulder width

[mmaKody]

Hands are not there it works bro

[Josh1223]

Thank you guys. Appreciate it.

I do preform pull-ups but I kinda put them on the side burner because I'm not sure if I am preforming them right.

I'm no beginner, I've been training for around 6 months now and have seen a ton of changes. Pull downs and pull ups are my enemies! Tips?

If they are your enemies that means its a challenge. That means it works. So you should definitely be doing those. Also, as some others have suggested, do 1 arm DB rows.

Here is something I am going to suggest that will just completely kill those lats. Go heavy on the dumbells for the 1 arm DB row. I would say 6-9 reps. Then do a drop set. Once you are done going through all the weights, do eccentric pull ups. What are those you may ask? Instead of pulling yourself up. You jump up to the bar, but then slowly let yourself down for a 4-count. Your muscles are stronger on the negative (eccentric) part of the movement. All of that, is 1 set. Repeat 2 or 3 more times. And then, well, you might cry a little bit. Just kidding. O and one more thing. No breaks throughout everything. You may have a 30 second to 1 minute rest between sets. But that is all. Good luckk sir.
