Lower Lat Development

[DarkLord]

Thanks guys and girls for your comments. I have to ask the tidious questions sometimes or I wouldn't learn. Cheers for the info

I'm neither a bodybuilder or a powerlifter, in fact in recent months after forgetting to eat too many times, I've been demoted from "smallest, worst bodybuilder" to "skinny bitch". Oh well.

But still, I continue to train the way I'm encouraging you to do. With an attitude that says, "I'm not giving up, I'm not letting something like being a skinny bitch (in your case insert ectomorph here), and I'm continuing slowly towards my goals". If you do this, eat right, and worry about the big picture instead of the small points you will reach them over time.

One other point, don't get too impatient. Building a top physique takes many years and it simply cannot be done quickly. But with dedication and hard work you will improve and that's really the overall goal isn't it? Getting bigger and stronger or leaner and faster, or just stronger...whatever it is it only happens with dedication and not giving up.

And the questions aren't tedious. They are just questions with answers given. Got another one? Ask it, that's what I do when I run into something I don't know or am unsure of. And thats the reason for this board to exist.

Direct work on forearms is a good thing. I recommend deadlifts, pullups, dips, and squats for that. They are also what I recommend for lower lats. The advice you've gotten here is good.

Good luck.

In the last three weeks I've been using a shoulder width over-hand grip for my lats to which I find great as it stimulates the teres major/lat insertion and I come out with a teriffic pump and sorness as well the next day.

Do seated cable rows, pulling into your lower abs area.

As well, do underhand grip lat pulldowns or pull-ups.

Those should do the trick nicely.
