Ive tried some back workout, but still doesnt feel a thing in my lats.

1)Lats pulldown
No matter how many times i try, i cant seems to hit my lats. I feel more bicep than my back doing this workout... Ive tried using thumbless grip, and try my best to pull using my back, but i still dont understand how can I pull with my back with this thing.

2)Cable seated row and Dumbbell rows
I only feel rhomboid and rear delts using these. Ive tried my best to pull it to my belly using the cable row, still doesnt work.

3)T-Bar row
Lol, cant feel a single thing in my lats either. More to bicep and rear delts.


Im so frustrated... someone please correct me. I really want a pair of wings doh.gif

Only care about this after 6 months+ training. Else just do the exr properly and diet perfectly.

There's also a pre stretch exercise for lats. Try that, it's to activate your lats before your workout. Just keep doing it

Have been going to gym regularly for 2 months. Almost 3 months now...5 times per week.

Ok man, ill try my best, i really have a weakass lats

QUOTE(rakyat @ Dec 29 2018, 10:55 PM)
Try lowering the weight and do the rep slowly. Concentrate on squeezing your lat for 1 or 2 sec before the releasing the weight.
Also control the the weight during the negative, I see many novice lifter ignore the negative during pull downs and pulley rows.

Hmm ok, thanks for the advice. ill try.

I need to figure out how to squeeze my lats.

QUOTE(overfloe @ Dec 30 2018, 08:53 AM)
1) contract your scapula.
2) stick your chest out
3) focus on moving your elbow, not lats when doing the pull. Do it with controlled reps.

Ill try again this week!

Btw, do u guys use any of ur bicep strength during lats pull down?
