Exercises for lats

[zWHPH]

As the title says, I need some exercises for my lats. I already do pull ups, lat pull downs, and pullovers. I never feel a good burn in them though, and it's been a long time since I've seen major growth in them. Any help?

rack chins, dumbbell rows and weighted pull ups

Lats need a good mind muscle connection. So you should be working on that more than anything

i like cable rows, personally. Any rowing movement is good for lat growth. A lot of people like T-Bar rows, too. Your problem may be that you haven't figured out how to activate your lats. Do lat pushdowns on a cable machine for an isolation to figure out how to use them.

Imo pullovers are one of the hardest lat exercises to feel.

Try barbell rows, wide grip and close grip, pull to your belly button, start with a medium weight and work your way up, I first learned lat MMC using a really heavy weight and only a slight lean forward but as I've gotten better I've transitioned into a lighter weight.

I like to do chins as a warm up followed by heavy dumbbell rows, medium barbell rows with a wide grip, and finish off with pullovers with a fairly heavy weight. It works for me, I've gained a lot of weight on my dumbbell rows in a short time.

Important things to remember about the lats:
Keep your back arched like you would for squats or deadlift and shoulders pulled back and down, pinch your shoulder blades together and downward, this ensures your lats are in the right position, if your pelvis tips foreward or you slouch your lats will suffer.

If you're sitting, sit back and put both your arms up like a goal post, upper arms straight out and fore arms facing the ceiling, if your shoulders are pulled back properly your fingers should point straight up, this is how your shoulders should be positioned during lat work.

before you start running through every lat exercise in the book, I would suggest you make sure that you are doing your current exercises correctly.

pullups and lat pulldowns are some big lat movers. Don't fault the exercise immediately!

Try exhausting the lats first with isolation's like Pull Overs and Straight Arm Lat Pushdowns. Then move on to pull ups/pull downs etc.

Pendlay Rows

Try getting a good stretch in your lats to start off your workout, I find hanging correctly from the pull up bar for 8-10 seconds, 2 times before I get in to working lats helps me engage and get a better pull in them.

I don't like DB Pullovers. For Pull ups and Lat pull down stop pulling with your biceps and start pulling with your elbows, while pulling your shoulder blades down. Arching your back tend to help, try to imagine pulling your chest to the bar.
