6 Explosive Lats Workout For A Bigger And Stronger Back

#5 Pull-ups

Pull-ups

Similar to the chin-ups, pull-ups are also great for targeting the lats and other parts of the back. In addition, pull-ups are also beneficial in improving the overall strength of the upper body.

Instructions:

Step 1: Hold the pull-up bar with the palms facing away from the body. The distance between the palms should be around the same as the distance between the shoulders. Ensure that the upper torso and the arms are kept perpendicular to the ground in the initial position.

Step 2: Pull the body towards the ceiling such that the pull-up bar touches the upper portion of the chest. Pause for a second and return to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important Tip: Weighted pull-ups could also be performed for increased resistance and greater customisability. Pull-ups could be very demanding for the beginners and one could use a spotter or an assist machine to ease the difficulty.
