Your lats are more important to your overall performance than many people give them credit for. Not only are big, strong lats crucial for climbing, pulling, and rowing, but they also play a role in whipping the fist back in a punch, and stabilizing the entire spine. These are the largest muscles in the upper body, and for good reason!
In this video, I discuss some cool ways to develop bigger, stronger lats. I touch on Pavel Tsatsouline's "Tactical Pull Ups," as well as the importance of the horizontal pull, and the benefits of adding a rotational element to those movements. Enjoy!
BTW: This video was by request for Greg Parker who has been an amazing contributor to the community for ages. Enjoy!

Is there a "boxer workout" that can be done without a punching bag?And still give results?
You can also train by swimming, overhead slams which transfer to throwing movements, and even barehand digging, as well as military crawls.
Bruce's lats, along with forearms and abs always blow my mind! Great video.
One thing that changed and unlocked a lot of rowing strength was doing a lot of banded face pulls. It strengthened and activated my mid traps, rear delts and rotator cuff muscles. I went from struggling to row 95 lbs for 7 reps to 185 lbs in a couple of months

@@daniel-zh9nj6yn6y Ah, I get it now. But would this work as well as a legit pull-up? Because in this case you're not exactly going against gravity, so there isn't much to give you resistence, right? It kinda reminded me of those "towel exercises" from the old SixPack Shortcuts with Mike Chang. That looked...sketchy...to say the least. When something seem too easy it might also mean that it doesn't work.
My favorite lats excercise: ring pressdowns: fix the ring straps at the same origin at shoulder level, lower yourself with straight body to about 45 degrees, retract shoulders and pull yourself up with straight arms to your hips. Depending on the distance the load can vary a lot, isolates the lats very well, and it can be goddamn difficult if you want it to. For comparison, at 90° it would equal a front lever pull to victorian cross. edit: Essentially it's an arc row with straight arms (biceps excluded).
Hey man this is a really great video. I love everything you do that benefits my movement and marital arts training. I love how concise and without fluff these videos are. I love the connections you make. I love that this is only 7 minutes long because you're explaining so well and efficiently. Keep up the great work!
WOW. I'm just tuning into videos on how to build your back & lats recently, and the universe answered me with this....... Thanks Bioneer!!! I needed it! 🙏🏋️🥋🔥🥊
This is ,seriously,one of the best video I have ever seen on back development...Short, crisp, to the point👌
Single arm dumbbell rows work for the lats. I like to do them with one leg on the ground and the other up off the ground, as it forces more core stability.
Wow in all my years scouring the internet for fitness videos this has to be one of my favorites. I’m excited to binge the channel
bro ive watched 15mins of you videos so far and all i have to say is your a genius man, youve got it figured out
For lat (back) training I am working on front and back levers and lever raises, as well as engaging them during press-ups to depress my shoulders (along with my lower traps to rotate my shoulderblades down and outward while going down).
when someone hits a proper lats spread.... Maaan it's so freakin impressive and satisfying! Probably the most loved pose in bb ever.
I remember thinking the inverted row would be an easier variation of the pull-up, and as I’d mainly trained pull-ups I thought they’d be a good warm-up movement. Holy moly was I wrong, with perfect form, and the right tempo they are a remarkable exercise, and it always confuses me why they’re so effective despite push-ups quickly tapering off when you’re strong enough.
I never regret watching your videos! Always interesting, always inspirational ✌🏽
Love the video. My favorite back exercise that smokes the lats, is the hand over hand rope pull, using a sled and a thick rope...
Can always rely on bioneer to give us the good stuff. nice video as always
I am very much enjoying all of your videos. This one is exceptionally useful.
Trying to boost my back hypertrophy. This will come in handy.
Learning how to use the lats in pressing horizontal and vertical will change your life
Front lever work combined with pull-ups definitely my go to lat building combo.
Commando pull ups, a " mount on door " pull up bar that has a lat pull down grip, ring roll outs, ring pull ups with your palms facing towards your ears, australian pull ups with a wide grip and even some kinds of animal movement with straight arms. Go Adam! Go Bioneer!
Very good and informative video 👌 I'd like to add that low volume strength work with Rows and weighted pull ups combined with your functional anti gravity movements work wonders for lat power and size. When I dropped my bodybuilding split and completely changed my training routine to a combination of powerlifting and Calisthenics my back development increased dramatically.
The Bruce Lee Lat Scene...😎👍🏼 Nice. Great Video As Well. Can’t Wait To Add This Information To The Workout Plan.
You have the best videos for training on youtube period!!
Thank you for this knowledge. This is what I was looking for.
Weighted chin-ups can also be added in workout routine for increasing the strength of the lats
Could you please create content on occlusion training and balance, proprioception and stability training? As always, your content is awesome. Look forward to whatever comes next.
He seem on point with the lat workouts. I think I’m going to try some of those workouts to get stronger lats.
Great anatomical references!! And a great video.
Hi. Awesome content. Thank you. I used to do karate, with emphasis on strick technique, especially on the punches which sometimes caused sore muscles in the lats 😉
You’re channel is great! Thanks

Hey i just brought your E-book yesterday,i still havent started reading it cause i was busy with school and classes,but im hyped to check it out,amazing video has always,hopefully in the next video ill tell you how i found the E-book.
I know its not optimum but weighted chins have always been my signature exercise and i have found it to vastly improve virtually all other movements/lifts, even pushing movements. i tend to work in the 3 rep range for maximal strength and overload

My understanding of lats for punching, i like hooks so if i wer throwing a right hook i would be rotating off of my opposing lat and contracting hard on the snap. Like droping an anchor of the back left of a boat. 3:50 that exercise is it.
You really found a niche spot in bodyweight related market!
This is a great video dude. Looking jacked too 💪
I'm not sure if it's down to my genetics or because I've been doing judo since I was 18 (lots of pulling motions in judo practice) but my lats are very strong for my bodyweight. I usually superset single arm dumbbell bench rows with bench press and I feel like an absolute beast when I'm lifting heavy on these.

You should make a video about the gym hammer. I just started to train with it and it's insane. It's great for developing a lot of things.
Greg Parker here - great job Adam - thanks for that one :)
Love your vids
I quite like deadlifts with a wider grip... It hits the lats pretty well. I use a wider than shoulder, or sometimes a snatch grip width to hit the lats more.
i go on the pulldown machine but use a small w bar, kneel on the floor andpull thr bar behind the neck feels a great pump

When I was in high school people kept saying I gotta chill out or I'll fly away. Nowadays my right lat (honestly all muscles in that right upper/mid back) are like a 3rd larger than ones on my left because of archery. I try to count my shots and draw my bow on the left side to counterbalance it but it just doesn't seem to work. Funnily enough the right shoulder is also the one that tends to go forward and up when I'm not paying attention to my posture lol
Im glad you are covering this, i wanted to get those wide lats for years (some of those years i couldn't do pullups/back training) Aside doing towel pullups 5times a day and always slowly increasing my maxrep, I do add 100 medicine ball slam a day for power and activated the back too and i feel the difference

Beautiful details of training, by the way there's an exercise that create the biggest lats for me which is full front lever raises nice and controlled without any swing... it is hard as hell, but it is super efficient... all you described is magnific, but if you add front lever raises I belive results can be even more

lats are internal rotators of the shoulder joint. The benefit of horizontal rowing is working the lower traps, rhomboids, spinatus muscles, anterior delts.
