Seated cable pull-downs, bar dips, pull ups, and two other machines that I don't know the name of =P

Get some deadlifts in there as well.

Often ignored..... but a lat-mass-adder for sure.

Deadlifts, bent-over row and pullups.

Make sure to get the form down perfectly for deadlifts otherwise you could srsly hurt yourself.

And if you're doing deads, do some squats as well but don't neglect your core.

^ Indeed. Barbell rows, t-bar, deads... all good stuff. Try some dumbell rows as well.


Also, keep in mind that arm position will really determine what part of you back you are working. If you are doing a row, keep the elbow in toward your side to hit your lats. If it's a pull down type movement, keep the elbows out to keep the emphasis on the lats.

we have some parallel bars and a chin up bar outside where I run. I do some wide grip pullups and narrow grip chin ups, and sometimes parallel grip pullups on the monkey bars. but I also do this thing where I get my feet up on the parallel bars, facing up and do some rows. My lats are killing me today, in that good way. I wanna be lee haney when I grow up.
