I’m going to try do Pullups in between sets for as many consecutive days as I can handle. Neutral grip though because its easiest on my shoulders and I feel them most in my lats. Will see how this goes.[/quote]
instead of that i think picking 3-5 different grips and do 100 pullups every back workout is better, take as long as you need to get it done and switch grips every 10 reps. If you give yourself a week to recover after this youl be on the right track
oh and do more then just this such as rows and deadlifts, eventually try 200 pullups

I do that on my “back” day which is effectively my lat and biceps day. Not necessarily 100 reps though since I do weighted reps. I have a deadlift day which right now is snatch grip deads from a deficit as my main movement then more posterior chain/trap work.
What I’m going to try is doing a very small number of Pullups in between sets of push presses for example. Neutral grip because for me its easier on my shoulders and I want to do them in a manner described before on the site as scapular Pullups I think. If the gym isn’t too crowded ill try and put my rings up. Just want to try it because I’ve read/heard about daily Pullups being viable. Along with the fact it worked well for me in the past for me. I also don’t think anyone can really do too much “back” work.

Hammer Strength Front Pulldown works the lats damn good[/quote]
That’s weird. I could have sworn the HS machine at my gym as the levers more out in front as opposed to directly above. Having them in front a bit turns it into a hybrid pulldown/row which I don’t prefer.[/quote]
Thats the Hammer Strength High Row ( different machine ) its a incline press done in reverse ( the angle in which you pull ) and yes you are right its somewhere between a pulldown and row.
Good machine I prefer the HS pulldown that was posted above though.

What kind of movements works the lower fibers of the lats the most? Angle of pull, (pulldown vs. row), Grips and grip width etc. And where does pullover hit the most?[/quote]
Try underhand rows, HS low row, and a low pulley cable row with a pause at the top.[/quote]

Relative beginner here: I really like/feel the Meadows Rows, which I haven’t seen mentioned. What do you guys think of these?[/quote]
Yeah I like them too, get a nice stretch and never got DOMS so low before.

What’s a HS low row?
Thanks for responses
E: Hammer Strength I suppose?[/quote]
Yup. HS = hammer strength. I like to do these rowing machines one arm at a time tho. This allows me to tilt my body slightly to the side i’m working and really squeeze that area. I hate using both arms at the same time; it feels like i’m not accomplishing anything.
So, try 1 arm at a time and start light. I could get up to more than 4 plates a side but at that point I don’t feel the same type of contraction in my lower lats.

I was shaped like a rectangle until about 9 months ago when I made my primary back movement the dead-hang pull-up. Started to see great results in width then added in heavy pendlay and dumbell rows. Results have exploded in both width and thickness since then.
been doing the hammer pulldown doing some good negative holds really feelin the burn. workin on my mmc. only been like a week so i still have to wait a while to see any results but i think all the advise is at least making sure that i am targeting and isolating them
