Hitting the lower lats

[nuknuk]

What excercises would you recommend to bring out and get a thick lower lat?

 

[CH3NO2]

Bent over rows, one arm dumbell rows and deadlifts.

would you think deadlifts would be best for making them thick?

 

[csuperman]

why not do rows like yates reverse grip, and reverse grip pulldowns

Dead lifts are a foundation for making everything thick.

Yates rows without a doubt-this is the best in my opinion for lower lats and rear delt/lat tie in

if you have a lat pull over machine to pre exchaust even better

another good trick for overall lat development-had an old timer show this to me- is on the smith machine dead lift at the top of the movement flare your lats like your posing for a brief moment then lower the weight and repeat...

sounds stupid but it works and you'll feel it the next day if done properly

lower lats are the strongest part of my body

i like reverse grip standing barbells rows and deadlifts with dumbells so i can get an extra squeeze on the way back

 

[saudades]

T-bar rows and bent-over rows with an underhand grip. Focus on really contracting that part of the lats, and you'll really feel it the next day.

Reverse grip seated rows are fckn insane.

Agree with Zeus to...reverse grip seated rows do work the lower's very hard..but I would have to say rack deadlifts are best overall thickness movement...I love deads...I would do a combo deal of starting out with lighter warm ups for 10 reps (example 135 x 10, 225 x 10) then moving up to heavier weights using less reps, but still warm ups (315 x 5, 405 x 5, ect) then move on to the working sets ... for about 6-8 reps...(495 x 6-8, 585 x 4-6) then finish with a high rep set (405 x 14 + 4 + 2 / rest pause set for 20 reps) ...

Underhand barbell rows scare me. I just stick with heavy bent over over hand grip rows. 365lbs and 15 reps then drop to 315 for as many as I can, then one more with 315 and really squeeze everything back there. The next day my lats are sore from all the way at the bottom into my arm pit. Underhand may give a slight degree more activation at the lower insertion, but the tremendous increase in risk of a torn bicep doesn't make it feasable for me.

Smith Machine reverse grip bentovers, love them.

Agree 100%...Ive been likeing DC style smith rows..very similar to a Yates row...Also 1 arm DB row with a big stretch..
Underhand row is how Yates ruptured his bicep too btw....
