Im sure this question has been answered before I tried searching but had no luck.
Im somewhat happy with my upper/middle back. But i resently got my GF to take a pic of my Lat spread and I was very disopointed. I need some thinkening for sure.
So just wondering what excerises work for u guys to thickin up lats?

bent over barbell rows , t bar rows, machine rows, * 3 worrk sets of 10 to 12 butt kicking, eyebrow raising , death defying the most electrifing reps.... for thickness

if the lower back can take it...... i go with lower reps like 5-6 on bent rows, not all the time but about half the time. most of the time its a rang from 6-10. on accation for pull down to the front(never to the back) ill go 12-20 for a real good pump,with light weight so i can make the back do the work to keep the bi's out of it as much as possable.

rack chins and get really strong on pretty much every rowing exercise.

rack chins are good plus rack dead lifts

Pull Up / Chin Up variations. I would go for both chin ups and pull ups on ur back days. The Chin ups gives more weight+longer range of motion--> longer TUT --> bigger lats. THe Pull Up focus more on the teres major, which also is important and will make ur back look more massive imo. do both!

Do rows at various angles. Some to the lower abs (underhand grip or palms facing one another) and some to the upper abs (over hand grip or palms facing one another) on seated cable row machine. Keep reps in the 8-12 range to build thickness in the muscle bellies. ;)

HEAVY ASS weight, 250-300 lbs seated rows, 150 dumbbell rows, 250 plus pulldowns, etc. you Will grow!!!
try to stretch the muscle, the negative portion of the movement is VERY important.

weight is relative, he should do whatever is heavy for HIM, and try to make progress weekly in each lift. Track this with a journal.
