The best lat exercises to me, are lat pulldowns (wide grip), straight bar cable pulldowns (dickersons), and wide-grip rows. You can incorporate as necessary to improve lats.
EDIT - weighted wide-grip pullups are also superior!! However, you must buy a special belt to hold weight plates in order to do this particular exercise.
Thought I would give you feedback from the 5x5 plan
finishing up my 4th week today.
so far im up a solid 5-6 lbs and strength is going up like crazy. still taking M Stak as a hard gainer, after this cycle im going off for a few weeks. probably will stop Creatine too.
I follow the muscle groups listed, adding accessory groups like tris on Monday and bis on Tuesday.
no plateau yet, you said I could do this for 8-12 months. my goals are mass gain/size and strength. I don't do cardio but i may start due to joining a flag football league
can you recommend any way to incorporate a small amount of cardio with my goals in mind
,and at what point (if any) would it be beneficial to switch routine to say a hyper trophy or something else? thanks for all your help it is much appreciated. I am definitely getting results Im aiming for
