How the fuck to I grow my lats. Every other muscle is growing but my lats. Idk what the fuck to do

No one cares who you are. This is anonymous board. Stop trying to claim an identity. Whatafag.

make sure your form is in check.
Most literally just pull themselves up by any means.
You actively want to pull with your lats, focusing on keeping biceps and cheating to a minimum. Also always dead hang, don't half rep.

This. You should be flaring your lats out. You can practice this just by standing up. Stand perfectly straight with your arms to your sides. Then start flaring your lats. Imagine you are a bird flapping its wings before takeoff. That has always helped me.

I like to do lat pulldowns. rows are also great.

Focus on building the mind muscle connection. I like doing sets of 12 to 15, which is light enough that you can feel a burn in the lats, but heavy enough to stimulate the muscle.

Try different variations of pulldowns and rows, whatever lets you work the muscle. For pulldowns, try close grip, wide grip, behind the neck, etc. Different variations hit the muscle from different angles. For rows you can try machine rows, barbell rows, dumbell rows. Try the different grips, find what works for you.

I'm a firm believer in the pump, and working the muscle. This means weight being used does not matter as actually getting good bloodflow and contractions in the muscle being worked. Play around with rep ranges, I personally like 12 to 15 or 8 to 12 depending on the movement type. Play around with the number of sets, till you find a volume that works for you.

Frequency should be atleast twice a week. Actual results will take a while, try to incorporate progressive overload and you will grow.

How is claiming you are OP claiming your identity. Did I tell you my real name faggot?

Guys, if you can do more than like 8 pullups at a time, start adding weight. Get a chain belt and keep adding a bit more weight each week. Make sure to have full range of motion and really feel the movement on the way down.

Bless you user

>Also always dead hang, don't half rep.
I have a left arm injury that destroyed my shoulder and elbow. I can use the arm normally in almost every way and exercise, but I can't raise it a over my head and can't hold it straight up, like you would in a dead hang or OHP.
Am I forever fucked to never have lats? I cheat my way to shoulder size with a literal ton of lateral raises every day even though I'll never have a big OHP.

I think he means roping yourself

>I don't want people to look at me and think I pull myself up in general.
my sides

make sure you dont have internally rotated shoulders. If you look in the mirror and you can see more than one knuckle standing straight on then you have them. This is the biggest factor in achieving upper body aesthetics and can really flare your lats out once you correct it.

Aside from that, chinups are the best exercise for lat activation. Rows do more upper back and rear delts rather than lats. Try and get to at least 2 plate chinups for 5 reps and correct your posture if you need to and I guarantee your lats will be visible bro.

Just around like you have 2 big watermelons under each arm.

Ur a fuckin retard no offence. Pullups grow your lats

The most painful movement on my lats when I have lat doms seems to be laterally raising my arms, but with hands near chest, like you're flapping chicken wings, or arms bent at 90 degrees and raising past horizontal.

If there is a machine you can push up with that movement, maybe cables, bet it would be good.

pullups is my strongest lift and my lats are huge, people who deadhang are retarded, you want CONSTANT TENSION, don't go all the way down, do pullups everyday, add weight once you hit 10 reps

Most people seem to think chinups are the better exercise. I can do much more chinups than pull-ups, so could I just drop pullups and literally focus on destroying those chinups with added weight? Doing pull-ups feels like swimming against the current. I can never do them properly even tho realistically I should be.

I struggle with pullups. How many a day should I be doing? I don't have a bar at home.

what helped me a lot is doing my pullups with a motion similar to a straight arm pulldown, you place your elbows a little to the front of your bodyand pull to the bottom part of your chest

Weighted pull-ups. Can't have small lats when you add 90 pounds on the dip belt

3 sets amrap is fine, and get yourself a bar for your bedroom, deadhangs to stretch your spine and train gripstrength is a godsend

literally EXTERNALLY ROTATE YOUR SHOULDERS WHEN YOU DO ANY PULLS

Kek

Literally just think about your lats on pulls and you'll engage them subconsiously.

>I am just not a "pull-ups kind of guy"

focus the pull of the weight on your elbows, not your hands / arms.

>grow grow grow

Lats are "low priority" for the body to build from my experience. Start out with lots of reps of lowish weight rows, lat pulldown, assisted dips and pullups. I find anything that helps the tricep also aids the lats cause of a tendon chain or something.

fisherman rows for the win

Lat pulldowns. It’s literally in the name of the exercise.

i like that

I honestly have had non stop growth doing a combo of pullups and inverted rows. They can really widen the upper body while adding thickness to it

I started doing a series of as many pullups as i can, then as many chinups as possible, as many pullup negatives as possible, as many chin negatives as possible and finishing up on inverted rows.

Once I was able to do seven of each, i added 20 pounds and did the same process. I got a lot stronger and now i have actual lats, which i did not have when i started.

legit had me laughing lmao

is this the same dumbass who posted a thread like 2 days ago asking for advice on how to get muscles by just running?

Pull ups and lat pulldowns, is not complicated

“Not a pull-up guy” “lats by running”

dont pull with your hands, in your head pull your elbows into your lats like a v, act like your trying to bend the bar, on pull ups do thumbless grip, try drop sets to make everything as sore as possible and hopefully your lats too so that you can feel them, learn to flex your lats by doing poses, look up how to do a latspread and always think about the cues when working out and try to flex inbetween sets, dont do more than 12 pull ups, once i added weight to my pull up i started really feeling them, do one arm dumbbell rows, this should get them fired up, maybe even do rows before your pull ups, dont pull with your shoulders shrugged to your ears, set your shoulderblades down and back.
hopefully i could help someone with this
