Exercise breakdown
Sets, reps, rest, why each movement is here, and what to track next time.
Back width starts with repeatable pulling.
Back dayA wider-looking back needs vertical pulls for the lats, rows for upper-back support, and isolation that teaches the lats to actually do the work.
- Weighted pull-ups are the big strength target.
- Lat pulldowns are scalable and repeatable.
- Chest-supported rows reduce lower-back cheating.
- One-arm pulldowns and straight-arm pulldowns help you find the lat.
Make every rep a lat rep.
Kai ruleBack training fails when the arms and momentum take over. Track the setup, range, and tempo so the target muscle stays honest.
- Start with shoulder blades controlled.
- Pull elbows toward the right path, not just hands down.
- Pause or slow reps when you lose the lat.
