I love doing this exercise mid-work out. Never really need to go super heavy on it becaue it's all about the squeeze. Squeeze and contract at the bottom of the movement, with little rest between sets this gives a fantastic pump!

Great exercise! It really isolates the lats, particularly the lower lats. Good form and mind-muscle connection is key. flex hard it the bottom and go extra slow and controlled on the negative, gives a great burn.

This is a great way to isolate the lats. Pullups and rows just don't hit them hard enough.

This is one of the few lat exercises that I really feel the next day. Proper form (no cheating!) makes a huge difference.

racking this ex with open palms and only coming up 1/4 of the way after you are all the way down will change the way you stand and control the weight,

I have found that in using a light amout of weight and perfoming the exercise to the true form and focusing on the lat area, works will. Also try leaning forward a little bit, but do not sway your body just hold the position.

Love this exercises. I find it can really target the lower part of the arm (tricep area)I use this exercise all of the time to develop side pressure needed in ArmWrestling. It is one of my favorite exercises for this area
