Building that V taper is a very sought after look. Here is a routine I have used to not only build that mind to muscle connection but to add the width in my upper lats that I have today. I tried for nearly a year to spread my lats. This routine gave me that ability. Remember to give a hard squeeze at the top of each rep and control the eccentric portion of the rep as well.
- Standard cable pulldown
- 2 warm up sets
- 50% of working weight
- Wide cable pulldown (just beyond shoulder width)
- 3 sets
- 8-12 reps
- Single arm softball grip pulldown
- 3 sets each arm
- 8-12 reps
- Dumbell Pullover (using weight bench)
- 3 sets
- 8-12 reps
- Lower weight until you can feel the stretch in lats
- Machine Pullover
- 3 sets
- 8-12 reps
- Standard pull ups (or assisted)
- 50 total reps
- Use as many sets as needed
*60-90 seconds rest between sets
