I am starting to get an inbalance in my back. My upper back and traps are pretty developed and my lower lats are almost non existant. I know that lower lats are a area that lots of people have trouble getting up to speed. Does anyone have any advise that has had this problem before?[/quote]
Try doing one arm pull ups and chin ups, and/or regular pullups. (Pullups = pronated, Chin Ups = supinated)
Also, you may just like the pullover. Here’s a link to a pullover thread which also has links to articles about it with some conclusions near the end of the thread.
Bodybuilding legends say it is the only exercise that will truly isolate the lats.
No, it won’t expand your ribcage, although it will stimulate the serratus anterior which is among the ribcage and cartilage (giving that impression maybe). Anyway, for your purposes it doesn’t matter.
I have just started incorporating barbell pullovers so I can’t speak for their effectivity yet although I can definetely feel the lats being stimulated.
