Hey guys,
All right, so I've got a small problem here. I'm trying to develop bigger lats. Now normally I start off my workouts with 4 sets of pull-ups to get the blood flowing and warm up the back preparing for some heavy lifting. 90% of the time I use the widest grip and very strict form. I pull myself up (no bouncing) and go all the way down feeling the stretch. Normally my first set I only get around 12 reps, then about 8, 8 and 6 - something like that. I also stretch out my lats and back in between sets. I realize that a lot of this is also genetic, but I think that's a poor excuse. Maybe it could just be that this stuff takes a lot of time to build? Would you guys care to share some tips? Thanks.
