This exercise is to lats as leg extensions are to quads.
ihateschoolmt said:Am I over training if I do 4 sets of pull ups, 4 sets of pull downs, and 4 sets of V grip rows? My lats haven't grown at all and everything esle has.
LAM said:12 sets is not that much for 1 of the 2 biggest body parts, you could do more. personally I would do more free weight work. lat training is very difficult, with out a good mind/muscle connection most just spin their tires. you need to go HARD and HEAVY when it comes to training back, you should be completely spent after the training session

Mudge said:I would probably not agree with "perfect" form, but you certainly dont want to be having sex with the bar doing bent over rows.
Mudge said:I do some good mornings on a seperate day, but my normal back routine if you take out the shrugs, is lately 8 sets. Counting shrugs I used to go as high as 18 sets, around a year ago.
Last week:
4 sets bent over rows
4 sets of standing barbell shrugs
2 sets of pullups
2 sets of chins
Good mornings again on my last day of the week (finishing legs as well).
CowPimp said:I've been told to "pull with your elbows." This has helped me a lot. I can row a pretty decent amount of weight now.
Flex said:No deads?
I do deadlifts and on back day but I didnt know it worked your lats so i didnt put it on my post.Flex said:btw...
start deadlifting.
I have worked with Emily Holder, I don't know if you have heard of her, she's a natural amateur. So I don't think it's my form.Robert DiMaggio said:maybe get with someone more experienced to help you with proper form and to teach you how to truly pull the weight with your back rather than your biceps.

ihateschoolmt said:So new rutine could be
deadlifts 3 sets
pull ups 3 sets
Bent over rows 3 sets
shrugs 3 sets, sound good?
