I posted this in @Lizard King thread but didn’t get any responses. What have you guys found to get good lower lat growth?
I had been told to do lat pulldowns with arms out to the side and do one arm pulldowns with arm to the side and almost do a side crunch. Thought I had bad genetics. Thing those are great for upper back and maybe upper part of lats but never got those cobra looking lats. Until recently. I started doing my lat pulldowns with my arms in front of me and really squeezing at the bottom, focusing on driving my elbow down and back slightly at the bottom. The second one which surprised me how well it has helped is the plate loading isolateral hammer strength machine, using the middle nuetral grip. One arm at a time and really focus on driving that elbow back and down a little. Imagine hitting someone behind you with that elbow like they are in your way. Need to get that full range of motion and may have to use lighter weight than normal to do so. I still have a little trouble getting that mind muscle connection on my right side for some reason. I have to go lighter to feel it on my right side. But it’s working. Getting some really good results with these so far.
