I love lat prayers so much. the stretch, the pain, man... so good.
I concur. Mountaindog1 had a video of an exercise that was very simliar to this. Basically it was the same thing, but you were more bent over, and it had a smaller range of motion where you specifically focused on the part of the lat that gives the V-taper. I've been doing lat pulldowns, dumbell rows, shrugs, cable rows etc but none of them have targeted that part of my back so precisely.
Damn I miss Mountaindog1. I know they still post new videos but man, the fact he's gone makes me sad.
You're pulling with your arms, zoomer. But you'd know this if you put more effort into lifting. But by all means, keep spending your energy on homosexual hipster clothes, globohomosexual phone apps, feminist hoes, and video games.
If it's like the one at my gym, the grip gets closer at the top for a better stretch, then spreads at the bottom for better contraction. It's a little awkward at first but it's pretty cool.
This iso high-row machine and seated cable row are the only exercises where I can feel my lats working.
With pull-ups or pull-downs, I feel them primarily in my arms and shoulders. I'm not sure if that's because I have lankelet proportions or bad form. But either way it seems like row variations target lats better for me.
Lats specifically for me, it's the lat pulldown with a Pronated grip. Slow and controlled, no throwing your weight into it, grip width just outside of shoulder width apart.
Because, chinups take the focus off of your Lats and puts it on your Biceps. You're still working your Lats, but if you want to target Lats specifically, you would want a Pronated grip, not a supanated grip. A neutral grip would do a fairly balanced focus and hit your teres and rhomboids more.

You’re both correct just like Lat pulldown and Lat row both build back but in different ways. Pulldown builds width (wingspan) and row builds thickness.
Yes. But, the question was for specifically building your lats, not your back in general. The most isolated exercise you can do to target your Lats is a Lat Pulldown, with a Pronated grip, with your hands just outside of shoulder width apart. This has been scientifically proven and just having a basic understanding of muscle anatomy would tell you this makes the most sense.
A supanated grip puts more emphasis on your Biceps, which takes away from the emphasis on your lats. This is why most people can do a lot more chinups than pullups.
Rowing also builds your lats, but you're getting more of an emphasis on your Traps and rear delts, where as in a lat Pulldown or Pullup, the emphasis is more on your lats instead of your Traps and rear delts.
This is just science, no reason for people to get so b***hy over it.
Dumbbell row
seated cable row
sets and reps?
Pull-ups tbqhwu pham
unironically shrugs
Completely wrong.
will pull-ups and cable rows be enough to build them?
Pull ups alone are. So yes
Weighted pullups
i'm stuck with 2 sets of 9 then it drops to 5 what do?
Weighted? Drop the weight.
Do 8, 8, amrap. Once amrap is 10, do 8,9,10. Then 9,9,10. Then 9,10,10. Then finally do 3x10.
How are you this moronic.
that's a rear delt exercise anyway
>weighted pullups
correct
Lat raises
pullups, dipshit
Straight arm lat machine pulldowns
This is it. Also known as the "lat prayer"

Power cleans
left and right hooks
Leg extension
i do pullups and my lats dont show at all
Yeah your form is probably shit then bro.
but but i do it slowly and i try and use my elbows to pull
Oh okay then yeah I guess pull-ups are bad for building lats then, huh.
Fricking moron, why do you even browse this board?
wdym anon ur not very nice
you should feel your lats get a pump. maybe bad mind muscle connection
wtf is a mind muscle connection
Knowing how to control your muscles on command. It's the talent factor in bodybuilding. The rest is genetics and discipline.
Pullups tend to hit my teres muscles more than my Lats. Try a lat Pulldown instead.
You're pulling with your arms, zoomer. But you'd know this if you put more effort into lifting. But by all means, keep spending your energy on homosexual hipster clothes, globohomosexual phone apps, feminist hoes, and video games.
This.
How is this meaningfully different from a pulldown, besides being fixed trajectory
Larger ROM. I can squeeze way more and it doesn't feel like lat pulldown at all.
If it's like the one at my gym, the grip gets closer at the top for a better stretch, then spreads at the bottom for better contraction. It's a little awkward at first but it's pretty cool.
It's a reverse grip instead of an overhand one

Pick up your fat wife off her wal mart rascal scooter

>nobody mentions chinups
wtf

uh wrong. Chinups activate the lats more than pronated grip. Supinated grip is a more natural grip for all back training.
Okay, well you do you buddy!
