I’ve been into lifting for almost a year now, primarily focusing on overall strength. I’m finally getting to a point where I’m focusing on an area for each work out: I go every other day and do a rotation of legs, shoulders/arms, chest, and back. I’ve identified lats as a weakness for me and I’m ha…

Feeling the lats is all about movement of scapulas, you should protract the scapula to stretch the lats and retract and depress the scapula when lats contracts. After that, my advices are: unilateral cable pull-dow (do it with the pulley of a double pulley, you should seat on the ground) isometri…

Doing meadows rows with like a T-bar setup has really helped me in that department

Keep in the heavy /5RM stuff for the first 2 excercises, then do MMC higher rep work others have mentioned

You are doing the vertical pulling motion with the latest pulldowns but you also need a horizontal one as well, like a bent row or some variation .

Post up a vid of your form on some of the staple back movements. Do you pull the weight all the way to your chest as quickly as possible, or are you holding the contraction for a slight pause and only going the point in the range of motion where your back is fully contracted? For most, that means…

Any tips for working lats when you have no access to cables? At the moment all I am doing is weighted pull ups.

Thanks for all the knowledge everyone! Unfortunately my gym frowns on taking video so I’d rather not. Thankfully I just had a back day with a (much) more experienced lifter than myself and we killed it. One very surprising exercise was doing standard bent over barbell rows and then immediately switc…
