overhead pulling down movements will achieve the greatest activation. Pullups are probably the absolute best.
rowing will also activate it, but the best way to activate a given muscle is to follow its fibers. Bringing the elbows back behind the body will definitely work out your lats, just not optimally.
Depending on the row, you are going to bias different parts of your traps and bias your rhomboids.
The higher you row, the lower on your traps and the more you'll bias your rhomboids. It's the same principle outlined above, just look for muscle fibers, the closer you are to being perpendicular to the muscle fibers, the more you will bias that muscle.
Rows
sure, but what kind. there are so many
the rowing kind
funny man
>there are so many
Wrong
There’s like 2 at most and they don’t even change the motion just the setup
For me the chest support dumbbell row is superior

DB PULLOVER
%3D

Single arm lat pushdown with a cable. Slightly bent elbow and flair out to your side slightly. Lights my shit up.
Also weighted neutral grip pullups, tucking the elbows and pulling to your chest
Pullups with backpack full of dumbbells. That's all you need
heh, I have all 3 things required to do that.
thanks

Man that's a nice duck. Mind if I save that picture, buddy?
Weighted wide grip pull ups, neutral grip pull downs, bb rows
My lats exploded after doing all three
