How to Develop More Back Width

Sep 28, 2009

If you’re looking to add some more width to your lats, here is a training split that can add inches to your back width. You will be training your back on two days during the week, with one heavy day reserved for back alone, and another lighter day where you do additional back width exercises.Back Width

A lot of your back width is due to genetics, but that doesn’t mean you can’t maximize what you have to work with.

Day 1: Back
 Lat pulldowns: 4 sets of 8 – 10 reps
 Barbell Rows: 4 sets of 6 – 8 reps
 T-Bar Rows or Cable Pulley Rows: 4 sets of 8 – 10 reps
 Pullovers with EZ Curl Bar: 4 sets of 6 – 8 reps
 Reverse Grip Cable Pulldowns: 3 sets of 8 – 10 reps

Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Rest
Day 4: Chest and Triceps
Day 5: Shoulders, Biceps, and Light Back (width exercises)
 For Back:
  Pullups: 3 sets to failure with bodyweight
  Wide-grip pulldowns: 3 sets of 12 – 15 reps
  Wide-grip Barbell Rows: 3 sets of 10 – 12 reps

 Note: Do not overdue it with the back exercises on the light day. This should be  done just to get the blood flowing and to get a good pump in your lats.
 
Day 6: Rest
Day 7: Rest

Follow this routine for a couple of months and soon you’ll be able to cause an eclipse on your own!
