  • Let's look at four super effective lat exercises that you probably don't know about! These exercises all focus on a deep lat stretch, something new research shows is great for muscle growth. From neutral grip pull-ups that keep the lats stretched to lat-focused cable rows with lengthened partials, this video will show you how to target your lats with some new techniques.

      Doing the lat prayers from the new program, I find my triceps fatigue before my lats from the stretch. Any ideas to fix? My trainer friend recommended a rope instead of a bar to get more of a squeeze/ROM to ensure the lats a fatigued. Would be interested in your thoughts.

    • @john_m3619
      @john_m3619 5 місяців тому +16

      @@mati5185 all you basically need is a vertical pull (pull up, chin up etc) and a horizontal pull (rows) and some kind of hip hinge (deadlift variation). My personal favorite vertical pull variations are: close grip chin ups, neutral grip chin ups, pull ups, chest to bar pull ups and neutral grip pull ups. Some rowing variations I like are: seated cable rows (wide or close grip), chest supported dumbbell rows, chest supported cable or machine rows and barbell rows. I also really like stiff leg deadlifts and rdls. Just pick one of each category and get strong at them. One very important thing with back training (applies to every muscle group) is to focus on the stretch. Try to stretch you back as much as possible on every rep, especially on pull and chin ups. I personally like to pause for a couple seconds in the stretch. This will make you weaker but will grow more muscle.

      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future

    Man i absolutely LOVE lat cable pulls, i use the whole stack (260) and get a really good stretch with lighter weight by keeping my legs straight and leaning all the way forward then pulling with my lats all the way back if that makes sense.
    Oooo lat prayers, my favorite as well for those you can walk further away from the machine and bend your knees and reach out with your arms with the weight and pull it in towards your hips with a close grip with the rope, works great.
