Of course, you\u2019ll also have to work out your entire body to build a dro-worthy super-ripped look. When one pictures a superhero physique, mountains for biceps, mile-wide lats and a rippling back are the first features that leap to mind. In this article we\u2019re breaking down how you can achieve that powerful look without overstraining yourself or causing wear and tear on your health. Let\u2019s dive right in! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, exercises that engage the lats involve vertical and horizontal pulling movements with your <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/flabby-arms-challenge\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">arms<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To benefit from such training, you first need to learn about the precautions one should take before jumping into the big lats workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated?flow=1500&utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Big_Lats_Workout\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Need_To_Know_About_Bodybuilding_Lat_Exercises\"><\/span><b>What You Need To Know About Bodybuilding Lat Exercises<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since you\u2019ll use weights when bodybuilding, you\u2019ll need to pay attention to your personal safety. This is especially relevant for lat exercises. According to physical therapists, lat exercises \u2013 if performed poorly \u2013 are more prone to cause injuries (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2015\/06\/05\/health\/exercises-injuries\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you aim at getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/chest-dips-alternatives\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">super-ripped body<\/a>, you\u2019ll probably exert yourself to the maximum capacity. Therefore, you should know at what point to pause so you don\u2019t end up in a hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When performing an exercise like a lat pull-down (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefitness.org\/education-and-resources\/lifestyle\/exercise-library\/158\/seated-lat-pulldown\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), you should stop when you feel like there\u2019s something wrong with your <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/shoulder-leg-workout\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shoulder<\/a>.

This workout involves lumbar spine flexion that can displace a spinal disc, due to poor posture and too much weight. If you need to exert yourself more without endangering your spine, exercise while lying face down on a bench.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to push yourself further when doing a pull-up (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamusa.org\/USA-Wrestling\/Features\/2019\/September\/27\/6-Core-Exercises-for-Wrestlers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), have a certified trainer nearby to watch your form. That\u2019s because, when you exert yourself too much, you can end up losing proper form and getting injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you overexert yourself in a pull up, you\u2019ll end up engaging your upper traps and chest instead of your lats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Romanian deadlift (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamusa.org\/USA-Weightlifting\/BarBend\/2017\/April\/17\/Romanian-Deadlift-vs-Deadlift-Which-Is-Best-for-Your-Goals\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) is another workout that you should perform properly to avoid <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/oblique-stretches\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">injuring your back<\/a>.

This can be achieved using exercise machines which may help you perform certain workouts that are not possible with free weights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, you may also get a particularly excellent workout on your lats using free weights. An exercise like a bent-over row helps position your body in a way that fully engages your lats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on those guidelines, these 3 workouts may be the best big lats workouts out there:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated?flow=1500&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Big_Lats_Workout\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31300 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"big lats workout\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-3.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-3-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Straight-Arm_Pulldown_%E2%80%93_Best_Big_Lats_Workout\"><\/span><b>Straight-Arm Pulldown \u2013 Best Big Lats Workout<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This workout is a variation of the classic lat-pulldown.

That serves to give you a stronger back and better posture. If you find yourself slumping a lot, this could help you relieve that posture problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper form is particularly vital in this workout. You might easily cause injury to your back, especially if you put on too much weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, the first priority when doing a bent-over row shouldn\u2019t be to push harder. Your personal safety should always be in the front of your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can make the workout challenging for greater effect through slight variations, like a bent-over row &amp; side lunge (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/better\/lifestyle\/15-minute-morning-workout-you-can-do-anywhere-ncna1048421\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold a dumbbell in each hand.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Move your right foot to the right and bend your right knee.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your left leg straight as you push your right glute back.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, bend over at your waist, while engaging your core.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dangle your arms down.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hug your elbows on your sides while pulling them towards the sky.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your head in line with your spine while looking down.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t strain your neck by looking up or hunching your shoulders.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perform 4-6 bent over rows, and then press back to center.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do a side lunge to your left, and perform 4-6 bent over rows.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do 4-6 sets of this exercise to complete the workout.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated?flow=1500&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Big_Lats_Workout\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30537 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Frame-3569-1024x576.png\" alt=\"big lats workout\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Frame-3569.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Frame-3569-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Frame-3569.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Frame-3569.png 1344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seated_Cable_Row_%E2%80%93_3rd_Best_Big_Lats_Workout\"><\/span><b>Seated Cable Row \u2013 3<\/b><b>rd<\/b><b> Best Big Lats Workout<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The seated cable row primarily targets your lats and rhomboids (muscles between your shoulder blades).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, this workout is particularly effective in fast-tracking that V-cut look you\u2019re shooting for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes it even more valuable is the fact that it uses a cable machine. Such machines provide constant tension throughout the entire workout and some level of safety (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/fitness\/expert-answers\/weight-training\/faq-20058479\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). They are different from free weights which provide varied tension based on the range of motion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why you\u2019re likely to feel fatigue much faster when using a cable machine compared to free weights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides, the seated row also exerts your trapezius (muscles on your neck, upper back, and shoulders), and biceps brachii (front of your upper arm).

One workout that can exert both your lats and traps (the muscles that elevate depress, rotate, and retract your shoulder blade) is the deadlift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The deadlift is a full-body exercise that uses nearly all your muscles at the same time. Although the primary target muscles are your quads, glutes, and hamstrings, the deadlift can exert more muscles. Just by making slight variations to the workout (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/uknowledge.uky.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https:\/\/www.google.com\/&amp;httpsredir=1&amp;article=1085&amp;context=gradscho_theses;comparison\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), your lats will have a significant isometric (stationary) function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your lats help you maintain the correct position by keeping the barbell close to your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For an even more effective workout on your lats, activate your lats before the deadlift, using resistance bands:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrap the band around a sturdy object at about shin level.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hinge at your hips.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pull the band into your shins.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engage your hamstrings while squeezing your glutes by bringing your hips forward.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated?flow=1500&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Big_Lats_Workout\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34529 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/7-13-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"big lats workout\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/7-13.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/7-13-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/7-13.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/7-13-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/7-13.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re ready, flow these steps to do the deadlifts:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stand with your feet about hip-width apart.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure the bar is close enough.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Push your hips back.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grasp the bar and brace your core.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintain soft tension in your lats and knees while pushing your heels into the floor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extend your hips until you stand tall while clenching your glutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower the bar in a controlled motion back to the start.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on your capacity, perform 8-12 reps and 4-6 sets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>BetterMe app will provide you with a host of fat-frying fitness routines that\u2019ll scare the extra pounds away and turn your body into a masterpiece! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated?flow=1500&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Big_Lats_Workout\">Get your life moving in the right direction<\/a> with BetterMe!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Big_Back_Workout_For_Wider_Lats\"><\/span><b>Big Back Workout For Wider Lats<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get wider lats, you need to engage your back muscles fully. A workout that can help you to specifically target the lats is the dumbbell pullover.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dumbbell pullover is particularly suited to engaging your lats in way that\u2019s not possible with a lat pulldown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated?flow=1500&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Big_Lats_Workout\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31297 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2-21-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"big lats workout\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2-21.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2-21-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2-21.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2-21-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/2-21.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Dumbbell_Pullovers_Target_Your_Lats\"><\/span><b>How Dumbbell Pullovers Target Your Lats<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you evaluate the range of muscles that this workout engages, you can understand how different it is from lat pulldowns. Apart from exerting your lats, the dumbbell pulldown also stimulates your triceps (muscles at the back of your upper arm) and pecs (chest muscles).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, as you perform the exercise, your middle trapezius and rhomboids (muscles between your shoulder blades) stabilize your shoulder girdle. Meanwhile, your posterior deltoids (rear shoulder muscles) help push your elbows down and back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the range of muscles exerted, this workout lets you engage your lats without unduly engaging your arms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s unlike most lat exercises which exert your arms along with your upper back. They make your biceps the weak spot during the workouts. Therefore, the dumbbell pullover helps you focus on your lats by removing your biceps from the workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated?flow=1500&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Big_Lats_Workout\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30362 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-3616-1024x576.png\" alt=\"big lats workout\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-3616.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-3616-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-3616.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-3616.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also benefit from a wide range of movement in the workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, good shoulder flexibility and mobility are necessary.

Fortunately, you can still perform dumbbell pullovers while lying on the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, you may not have the same stability on the floor as on a bench, and your range may be slightly limited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you\u2019re having a hard time getting your arms to move together, try using one dumbbell instead of two. Simply alternate the workout from one hand to the other, with equal sets on each hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another variation involves a stability ball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performing dumbbell pullovers on a stability ball can further reinforce your core and glutes. The stability ball helps overcome excessive extension by lifters who cannot adequately flex their shoulders to place the weight behind their heads.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exercise_Variation_is_Vital\"><\/span><b>Exercise Variation is Vital<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you try out the various exercise options available, you might find one that works best for you.
