Lat Width Exercises
ad
I'm still currently cutting, but I am planning my growth phase for when I'm done with the cut. I believe one of my weak points is lat width.
What are your favorite exercises for targeting lat width? Any tips would be much appreciated.

For years I’ve done back twice a week and for a smaller guy I get compliments on my lats quite frequently. My first exercise is typically pull ups. 1st set to 10, then 2 sets failure. After that 2nd movement is usually lat pulldown. Those pull-ups get me PUMPED and really get the lats fired up.
I follow Eric janicki he has a lot of interesting exercises
Banded pullups with a huge squeeze at the top (where it's unassisted)
Supinated, wide-grip pulldowns with a full stretch
And my absolute favorite: dumbbell pullovers. Deep stretch, high rep and heavy
I had notoriously small lats most of my life due to just ignoring training back for the most part. Dumbbell pullovers have completely blown my lats up like balloons in the last 6 months.
Most of the width people want is actually from the Terres muscle group. Pull downs and assisted pull up machines works great.

Pull ups, pull ups, and more pull ups.
