what would you suggest for upper lats?

do you also believe in the upper/lower pec

do you also believe in the upper/lower pec

I believe that lat is one muscle but huge one hitting it from different angle is needed to archive full back development.
for pec I believe in flat and incline bench not so much in decline. I always felt that flat is enough for pec in general specially the lower part. however incline bench does make a difference in term of upper pec development.

Is there anything for the lower back without deadlifts?

Been doing all kinds of pullups/chinups, rows and upper/mid back is progressing nicely, but feels as feel the lower back, those 2 'tubes' going down to the glutes are barely existent

45 degree hyperextensions.

also one question, when rowing horizontally, whats the difference between using a wide grip like a pendlay row or the machine that was shown in a picture above, and a cable row with the V bar?

5 star thread, srs.

Critique my back routine
Lat pull downs 3x8-12
Deadlifts 5x5
Pull ups 3x6-8
Facepulls 3x8-12
Bent over row 3x8-12
My back/lats is my weakest muscle group IMO. It's hard for me to stand up straight without thinking about it. (Slouching)

1 set of rows to failure
1 set of shrugs to failure
1 set of deadlifts to failure

Train back only once per week to recover fully and overcompensate. If your numbers aren't going up every workout, then reduce your rest periods between exercises and increase the rest days between workouts. That's all you need.

Looks great, for variety you could do lat pull downs underhand(chin up style) and wider grip for pull ups

Wouldn't chin up style work biceps more than lats?
Do you have any tips when it come to mind muscle connection with the back?

I agree with this to a point. SUP (stand up paddle) boarding is a very good workout for your back, and core,and I even do this on land when I don't wanna put on rubber, or rent. regular surfing tends to hit my tris, shoulders hardcore (little pec action as well), but to get bigger, I found i still needed to hit the gym, or at least do body weight workouts. Looking forward to getting my own SUP. 3 times a week, plus running would get just about anyone in the single digits!

Chin-ups works both lats and biceps, I covered the mind muscle connection in the thread ! u'll find a whole paragraph about it.
