I would say lots of chins but I could be wrong...

for width I do pullups .. unilateral pulldowns .. close grip low pully row and pullover and for thickness i do a lot of deadlifts and Barbell rows .. dumbells row and machines row

most of the back exercises with a wide grip

yeah chins are good
so are front pulldowns and behind the neck pulldowns

width, some kind of wide grip pullups/pulldowns
thickness, deadlifts and rows...

doing wide grip does'nt give you wide lats...

lots of heavy deadlifts and barbel rows..

thats all.

I'm all for the basics, lat pulldowns and bent of Dumbell rows.

Then what will it do... If your lats grow they grow in wide and thickness, so yes they will be wider...

Didn't you forget deadlift

philosopher · 05-22-2005, 04:15 PM

deadlift, deadlift and again deadlift

i think deadlifts r for thickness but for lat width is pullups and pulldowns to the front...
