Operation lats

[runriot]

I am wanting a little advice on some good lat exercises.
I have been focusing too much on my upper back.
Time to hit my lats hard.
Any advice is good.

1) Weighted chin-ups
2) Wide-grip and narrow-grip pull-downs (try the narrow-grip with a reverse grip)
3) BB and DB row
4) Seated cable row
5) T-Bar row

To name a few.

Also add DB pullovers.

Yep, TP, forgot about those. I need to come up with a fourth routine for my rotation that I can add those into.

Straight arm push downs have been making my lats sore every time after doing them, may be because I've only done them like a half dozen times but they seem to work well.

I really like chin-ups, both wide and close grip.

I like these to, but as a finishing exercise, slow and controlled. They are not much different from pullovers though.

but you guys would agree to target my lats, do them first in my back routine yeah?

Yup, i do the same twin.
If you want to target your lats runriot, do them first.
