Creating Wide Lats

August 20, 2010


The hardest muscle in the body to develop is the Latismus dorsi. The Latismus dorsi is connected into the Rhomboid muscle group. Generally speaking the Latismus dorsi are the wings when flexed on stage gives the width with front and rear poses. Here are some exercises I have been working on to increase the width.

Pullups.

Wide grip x10, move to right small handle uneven grip x 10 now the same on the left handle which creates one lat. to stretch further than the other. This set is repeated x3.

Narrow grip with grips facing each other arch back and pull up allowing the scapula to open out creates the lat. to stretch up into axillary region. Narrow grips pulls x 8. This set is repeated x 3.

One arm rows.

Series of 2 different weighted dumbbells in sets of 1 each.

Here is what I do each arm.

35 x10, 45 x 10, 55 x 10, 65 x 8, 75 x 6, 85 x 6, 95 x 4, 100 x2.

At end of workout hang from the wide grip bars for as long as possible to stretch the lat. muscles
