Tall guys: how to you bring up your back/lats

[seala8]

I would like to widen my back a bit. However being tall doesnt help. What are you guys doing to widen your lats out and get those wings?

The best exercise I ever did for width hands down was weighted pull ups using the belt thingy. Used varied grips from wide to shoulder width. Also flat benching with shoulder width. Learn to incorporate lats. Not a tall guy but looked like i was wearing a backpack lol.

Dorian Yates way of squeezing and holding. controlled, form while still doing heavy weights. Just about every workout doing deads or a dead variation at the time

usually start off with back width ,then backthickness

I like pullups and still do them well at 245 lbs. at 255lbs they were difficult

This.

I'm 6'2, I believe my back is my strongest body part. I train no different than my 5'7 counterparts.

Biggest tip for back is actually training your back. I see too many guys using too high of a weight or neglecting form and never actually recruiting a single back muscle.

What shoes do you wear??

4 to 5 back exercises with perfect form, as heavy as you can go. Eat lots of protein, and maybe a rest day after you train. Make sure you keep your triceps up because a wider back will diminish your tris.

Focus on rows. That is where real mass comes from.

What shoes do you wear??

lol got a lot of them new balance bright yellow laces for cardio , sometimes calves. timberland boots like shoes, new balance black for casual like with cargo shorts or jeans, new balance black in gym, got two pairs of dress shoes like with dress pants or a suit-dont wear them much

then sometimes barefooted in gym like when doing calves like donkey calve raises, or seated calve

For myself the way Im built T bar seem to work better than barbell rows, thats why what i feel in my back.

That said ive found a certain equipment that I can do close grip barbells and love it.

one arm db rows as well for thickness.. machine rows cable rows....not all in one workout mind you....
