Seems like you can afford to make yourself a pull up station outside like suggested already. If you say that you can’t do that outside because of the rain you’re a fucking pussy.

Go out, do a set, get back inside, rest and get back. Bring a towel to dry off the bar everytime or else you’ll slip.

Plus you can tell your friends you do pullups outside in the rain. [/quote]

Lol, sorry m8, Im a grown up man (33 years old), father of two who doesnt need to prove to his teenagers friends (because i dont have any teenager friends obviously) that he is “not a pussy”, so I’m just fine training indoors.

I think i’ll go for the removable pull up bar after all which seems to be the consensus. And by the way just to clarify the exercise balls and are for my wife who also uses the gym.

The original point of this tread was to find out as many different exercises for lats using the equipment I already have (dbs , bbs, bench), many of the guys have given me great advice and Im surely going to try those exercises.

Thanx again guys for the advice and If anyone has any more exercises to suggest I’ll be more than grateful

I’ve actually been looking into hanging a rope from a second story roof with the intent of “hand-over-handing it” up the rope and down…suppose that would work the lats too, no?

In my experience it hits the grip alot more and the bi’s pretty hard on the way down. Wouldn’t do it as a lat builder, it’s definitely got its uses though.

I’m going to second the inverted rows. Not exactly a monster lat builder, but it is a great exercise that you can add in with what you already have.

Many thanks for the advice, please keep it coming
