How to Get Wider Lower Lats (V-TAPER!)

- If your lats don’t seem wide enough and they look like they end shortly below your armpit, you will want to watch this video on how to get a v-taper. Here I show you 5 lat exercises for getting a wider back by focusing on the lower lats. The key to getting sweeping lats is to not only train your back with the right exercises but by making sure you are performing them the right way.

That said, if you want to build a wider back and lats you have to do two very important things in your back workouts. First, you must be willing to take the exercises you are doing through a full range of motion. Simply focusing on the middle portion of every row, pullup and pulldown is not going to give you fully developed lats just as doing this with your curls will give you fully developed biceps.
Beyond that, if you don’t ever focus on creating a peak contraction of the lats by digging your elbow into your hip at the bottom of every rep, then you won’t get the muscle to grow as much as it is capable of. Each of the lat exercises shown here will help you to do exactly this. They will take your lats through a full range of motion and get you to place extra emphasis on the contracted position of the muscle.
The first exercise shown is called the tripod underhand row. It is important to note that the grip makes all the difference in the effectiveness of this exercise in targeting the lats. When you perform it with an overhand grip you shift most of the focus of the move to the muscles of your upper back rather than the latissimus. When you switch to a supinated grip your elbow becomes much easier to tuck into your side, drive towards your pelvis and ultimately obtain a greater contraction of the lats in their fully shortened state.
The second exercise is the wide grip underhand pulldown. This one actually helps those that struggle to feel what it should feel like to get your elbows driven into your hips. Because the movement starts with your elbows out wide, the only place for them to travel is down and in closer to your hips and pelvis. The underhand position once again helps to allow the elbows to ultimately get closer to your sides and increase the contraction of the lats.
The rocking pulldown is another awesome back exercise for building wider lats because it adds the additional ability to get rotation of the torso as you drive your arm down into your side. Being able to focus on one side at a time helps those that struggle to feel a strong contraction in the lats even more.
If ever there was a face pull for your lats, the high cable row would be it. This allows you once again to train one side at a time in a very athletic manner - by standing on your feet with the ability to include rotation for a v-taper back. This enables you to separate your hips from your shoulders by rotating them in opposite directions which really increases the stretch on your lats and allows for a more powerful contraction. Not just that, the up and away position of the arm creates an even more significant stretch on the lats attachments which tends to allow the user to feel a stronger contraction of the lats at the end of each rep.
The incline single arm stretch pulldown is an amazing lat exercise for growing a wider back. This setup does require that you have access to an incline bench and a cable apparatus, but if you do, it’s worth the extra effort. Here you can get an amazing stretch on the lats by letting your arm drift high up overhead, with a clear target for your elbow to be driven down towards your hip on every rep. The contraction you should feel on this in your lower lats will be intense if performed correctly.
Finally, there is no better lat exercise for building straight arm scapular strength than the straight arm pushdown. Performin the move one arm at a time as shown in the video. Look to not just get to the level of your back but past it to really increase the squeeze on the lower lats in the bottom position.
All of these lat exercises are great for building a wider back and lats. You do not have to do all of them to get results. In fact, if you mix in one or two with your standard heavy rows, weighted pullups and deadlifts, you will notice a wider back in no time. If you are looking for a complete workout program that will build not just a wider back but a more muscular and athletic body overall, be sure to head to athleanx.com at the link below and check out the ATHLEAN-X training systems.

If you want to build big lats, you HAVE to incorporate pull-ups into your back training routine. However, you want to make sure that you don't make any of these 10 common mistakes in order to get the most out of them - czcams.com/video/K81-SLUFo9c/video.html
Why don’t you just say.. prone row underhand.. especially with a bar that has that dip in the middle so get more squeeze.. then high row hammer strength then cable high row then single arm pull downs and single arm push downs, job done!
hey man, would you consider making a video for people with herniated disc ? which exercises we should do, which we should not.. my doctor said i shouldn't lift anything besides maybe dumbbel rows but i want to keep hitting my back as well.. i don't trust his words that anything would hurt me.
i dont think exercice can give this part because it s about the insertion of muscle if you have short lats
“Do your lats come out and stop here?”
No, not even that far lol
😂😂 same fuaaa
Lats?
Lats whats that? Do they taste good? 😩
@Spoon How do the insertions genetically vary? The upper lats tie into the humerus. The lower lats tie into the thoracolumbar fascia. The difference is some people perform the exercises with a rounded spine, other people perform the exercises with a straight spine, and then some other people perform the exercises with an arched spine.
Double Vision Muscle insertions DO vary depending on the individual, but muscle attachments (not sure if this is the right word) DO NOT vary. Everyone has their muscles attached to the same places but muscle lenght varies. The perfect example would be the biceps where you can observe more or less tendon depending on your genetics. And this applies for EVERY muscle in your body. You can see it as the same as the fact there are 7’ people and 5’5 people

The quality of these vids is improving at a faster rate then Jesse’s muscle growth
For real, it looks like Jesse has hit a serious plateau, or maybe that's just his genetic potential due to unfortunate genetics lol.
@@seal9454 Any "strength and conditioning" coach knows just the medicine to overcome plateaus.
@@marcusblackfellow2850 Juice.
Sunil Sahota not everyone wants to look like a veiny meatball bro!
He has just reached the intermediate stage of lifting, it's going to take 6 months to add about 3-6lbs of muscle. He still has quite a few years of training before his peak. Check Alan Aragon and Lyle Mcdonald's rate of muscle growth.
So I guess when I’m that shredded, I’ll also hear heavy guitar riffs during sets
Exactly
I am a beginner, maybe they are tuning it now.
Also make sure to slap ppl around the gym coz guitar slapping can add more funky tune to it.

Does anyone else just get mesmerized by his biceps
what biceps? oh, you mean those 2 giants balloons that look like they're about to explode? nah.
When you see them from the backside they look absolutely amazing. But when I see them from the frontside they look too big for his arm! He looks like he has 4% body fat lol

@@tobylawdenay8466 not really his body is amazing but 2 much development leads to less better looking face as Jeff is going really far with his training!
Been implementing Jeff’s recommendations to my workouts for about a year now. Pushing past the pain and now after a year, I’m down 87 lbs and getting where I need to be with definition.
Thank you Jeff and Athlean-x team for helping this mid 40s guy getting back to where I need to be with workouts and nutritional needs
It’s not always about his biceps...but they are great

I always had issue with mind muscle connection when when it comes to back workouts, especially with lats. But the high cable row did the trick, I could fill my lats immediately. Thanks Jeff, you really help me with this one!

You’re so lean that we can really see the way that the exercise works the muscles and thus learn very well from the videos that you do. Much appreciated! Also nice synopsis helps recap the lessons in this segment.

Jeff, thanks for these exercises. I had no idea how weak my lower lats are until I did these. Even with light weight and higher reps, my lower lats are super happy. I now also know why my lower back area hurts when standing for long periods, the lower lats being weak. Mine have been screaming since I did these Tuesday night, especially when standing and leaning over the sink or something. Awesome add to my workout, thanks!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Good men like you are hard to find.
Me in the gym: just doing exercises Jeff recommended
Personal trainer: * very skeptical * You sure you know what you're doing?
Me: Athlean X
Personal Trainer: * silently walks away in shame *
I literally had a retired PT tell me just watch this guy. That's how I found out about Jeff
Good man! My gym trainer literally thinks I am doing the exercises wrong. Be it face pulls, side raises anything.
Omkar Vishwase LoL the the gym owner where I go said some dumb shit about it too
This is so relatable yet annoying cuz everyone thinks they know what they're talking about at the gym when you know you're right doing things Jeff shows us.
Lol, right!? Some chunky person critiqued my routine and prefaced it with, "I'm a trainer." She was kind of rude about it too.
So there I am... 6 pack.. ripped.... having flashbacks to all the hours of free AthleanX content...
"That's what's up", I replied.
Imagine training with Jeff five days a week, doing all his favorite workouts.
Yeah, just imagine....
I'd have to book the ambulance in advance!
😭😭😭
imagine your funeral after
Loved Jesse’s cliff notes; maybe more in theory than execution 😉. Great job as always guys, and thanks for the incredible insights. Literally starting my workout now and will try these variations today, much appreciated 🙌🏼💪🏼🦾
Your channel is very insightful and helpful. I personally appreciate your step by step movements and positioning of the hands and body on every single video of yours. Keep up the help for the rest of us that want to do it correctly and get noticeable gains.
Respectfully,
John Thomas.
When you so early the giveaway has ceased to exist
MRC two videos ago?
Suggestion:pls show “Feet Placements “ when Jeff is executing the movements too not just the muscle groups close-up.
The lack of below waist imagery has been my biggest complaint about all his videos. You're only the 2nd person I've ever seen mention it.
Exactly my concern
Press down with your heel and anterior calve if you want to pull yourself down to the ground and push with your toes and gastrocnemus if you want to push up
Aaron park Shouldnt matter to much where your feet are.As long as your in a comfortable position to focus on the mind muscle connection to the area your trying to hit.
@@joshuascott7907 lol that mind muscle connection myth is not true. Those using it as a factor like Arnold are bullshitting. their gains are all steroids
Always love your content with your logical, evidence-based approach. Jessie is a wonderful addition to your videos, who brings light-hearted energy to the mix.
Jeff. I want to say thanks for helping me out with all the videos. I'm trying to get stronger while facing a disease that I will always have to fight. I'm getting strong and lean safely thanks to you. It's a huge thing because my disease attacks my bones and they can break easily. Thanks to your advice I can strength train effectively and safely. Thanks man.
And the dynamic between you and Jesse has been a great addition. I can't wait to get past my recent injury and get back to the gym to try these exercises out. Thanks again man.
Either Jeff is a life long learner or he’s been holding out on me with these techniques. AX2; NxT, max size, Beaxst...
LOL - He's been holding out on us!!!
3 and 5 are from beaxst if I recall right
Haha, every video makes me question this 😂
Literally 2 minutes ago I was looking at my lower lats thinking they need to get wider. Jeff has read my mind again 😂
Yoo real shit, same
I used to find Jesse annoying but his "Jesse's cliff notes" bit is pretty cool. I like it.

The only thing wider than Jeff's lats are my love for his channel. Keep 'em coming, good sir
“Do your lats come out and stop here?”
Yes, but they used to be non-existent. I was actually feeling pretty good about my lat progress, until the the start of this video :) Nah, it's fine. Tell me more... I want big lats!
Anyone reading this. Do really WIDE lat pull-downs and wide pull ups. You don't really need anything else for mass. Focus on those two, as well as the rest of your back workout and you'll be amazed.
My lats were also non-existent 🤣🤣🤣. But yeah now they are in better shape
It's more than the upper and lower lat it's also about the obliques!
They make the lats shine!
Weighted chin ups and Landmine Rows.....my lower lats are a little bit visible after doing them for just 4 weeks.....i had lats just like yours had no upper or lower lats but now have seen small improvements hope this helps
@@bloodbath3658 Weighted chin-ups? I'm still struggling with 3 x 10 bodyweight chin-ups! Also, I thought chin-ups were more for biceps? Aren't wide pull-ups better for lats? Although at my stage of the game anything is good!
I recommend everyone I talk to about fitness to watch the way you perform exercises. You’re the man✊🏿

Jeff’s workouts tips have helped me do so much more workout without getting injured. A lot of other body builder youtubers don’t have his level of expertise when it comes to physiotherapy. Listen to him!
It NEVER fails😂 I just got home from my back workout and got on my phone before my shake and this pops up🤔
“Did I offend you this time?” 😂😂
That summary at the end was awesome. Thanks. Please continue doing them.
Review by Jesse at end is great, its what I do making notes on video. Thanks!
"Jessie's TLDR" was much needed, hope to see that more going forward :)
I'm convinced Jeff watches me train so he knows when to post these videos
I’ve been watching your videos for quite a few years you are a very smart man and I understand your science and physics great job wish there was more guys out there like you I follow a lot of your workouts and I do great thank you again for all your videos
Love love this video! I am an AX1 and AX2 member and a bit of a fan boy but what I love about this video is that throughout this Corona sh** it's teaching me to slow things down and use the equipment at home that I do have. I've been able to perform this workout at home using nothing but a set of cable resistance bands, and my pull up/dip that I'm able to anchor everything to. This work out really fires up the lats and really helps with that mind muscle muscle contraction. You cant cheat and use other muscles as easy with this set. P. S I loved your piece too Jesse.
Going to apply these techniques later today at the gym, Starting following you a week or so ago and already noticed the target areas feeling the my grind. Definitely enjoy learning proper technique, Can only imagine what my body will look like in the following months(6-7).
How's it going
Also your the reason why I like working out man! I've lost a total of 40 pounds just using the advice you gave me, keep up the good work! 👍
Hey Jeff I know you guys probably won’t see this but if you do just wAna say thanx for your videos brotha I’ve always had trouble building muscle and this time around I’ve structured my workouts and diet by watching your videos and I’m seeing results I’ve never seen before ! Great videos !!!!
Love this guy, he's always got some useful tips
Hi Jeff, just a general reaction from me to all of your vids :). I looove how effectie your workouts are, and indeed that you don't have to spend an hour on one muscle group in order to get them sore and to grow them!
I am a do-it-at-home girl, don't really have the coin to get a gym membership, so I loooove when you do bodyweight or dumble exercises! Sometimes struggeling a bit still how to attack the back fully though, got a bit demotivated watching back videos because they often enough include machines. But I still have lots left to watch :)
Thanks for all your videos, I love them, and I love working out, and your videos just add to that so much.
Wishing you all the best and keep the great work up! :D
Love, Karin
Use bands for home back workout
When he said lats actually come all the way down to the hips that freaking blew my mind
It’s true. The parts connecting to the lumbar spine are fascia tendons
Only Bruce Lee has those lats! No one else in this world has it.
Another unbelievable post with incredible exercises!
never done the underhand-grip dumbbell-row before, tried it today, and i think that´s gonna become a new fav exercise. Thanks for the tip Jeff
Jesse with the recap is an awesome addition to videos. I didn’t realize I spaced out and got them all after
I think my lats grew just by watching this video lol 😂😂, thanks for the tips Jeff, I can't wait to incorporate these exercises into my workout routine. Cheers 💪🏻💪🏻
I'm a lat freak, and I use every principle in this video before I even saw it.
Agree with everything here, this is great info. I wish I had this video 9 years ago, but you eventually gravitate towards the right exercises eventually. It's just nice to have it all in one.
That high cable row is amazing. Thankyou!!!

I'm going to incorporate these into my next back workout. I always have struggled with back and chest development. Recently I finally figured out how to get my chest to grow more, but now have to get my back up to speed. I really want to have a nice v-taper, and it wld be really nice to have a nicer one for summer. Thanks Jeff
Jeff! Nobody ever showed this before. You are awesome! Thanks. God bless you.
You know its serious when Jeff has a shirt on
He only uses a shirt to hold the mic.
My Question: What are the most important tips you can give to all those trying to make their way into a career as a personal trainer /in the fitness industry?
Thanks for all the free content Jeff! You're an inspiration
1. Determine the type of clients you'd like to work with.
2. Find out who the experts are in that niche.
3. Study their methods, attend their workshops, and take their certification courses.
@@TeamYouphoric and watch tons of this guy...
You workout more than everybody else in the gym, then go home and eat the most, then you sleep the most of everyone, Repeat until your body says stop. Rest 1 day. Then repeat.
Probably learn, study, and listen as much as you can. Also try stuff you hear out and see if it makes sense, lots of PT come up with the dumbest stuff. Yet if you worked out truly once before you would know it is BS. Good luck man.
Don’t work within 100 miles of Jeff. Their his clients.
I already knew all these but you really upped your production values this video it's very impressive how well you presented the information I can see a big amount of effort and hard work put into making this video
Can’t thank you enough Jeff,
You always make the perfect sense
The exercise that makes me feel the most in my lower lats is neutral grip pullups to chest
I have issues with back training. I don't really get a pump and feels like I'm just wasting my time while forcing myself through an unmotivated back workout and it feels like it's what's keeping my back from growing. What can I do to push through it and make the workouts work out? I follow the form I see you and other fitness guys say but I still don't feel it.
Same
Kevin Almonte If you have mind muscle connection and good form you should feel it. When I started out 8 months ago I couldn't feel my back working. Once I got used to everything I could.
10,000 Subscribers With No Videos Challenge Same. Focus on pull exercises with your back and not with your arms. That and I started throwing it loads of pullups even on none back days.
i had that problem for a long time with my mind muscle connection lacking only with the back, what helped was getting extremely good stretch in the first few sets which at the 2nd exercise really gives great contraction and feeling. warming up with latpulldowns (rope) and just stretching the muscle at the top really makes my lats pop and then i can easily get the mind muscle connection on my rows and so on. I hope it helps :D
Pull with your elbows this is gonna be the best que and also do a mind muscle Connectuon exercise such as lat cable pull ins Jeff nipard explains it
Exactly what I needed Jeff! You're the BEST!!
I'm looking forward to using putting this in action tomorrow. Thanks Jeff.

@@evanmarshall6204 Exactly. I remember as a kid i had really slander legs. Everybody was sayng I have girls legs. I hated this so went to the gym with my cousin. Was training through whole summer vacation to get them more muscullar. Then after I came back to school i was just amazed how my speed improved and jump also. Even swimming strokes with my legs got lot better. So went from not only being in swimming team but also run and long jump.
When looking to work on something, I always end up watching his video's, he's the best.
It’s just awesome to have someone showing the right ways while a lot of people can’t get trainers! How do you think of going about working your side trunks or “belly”! Thank you!
DO A VIDEO ON LIFTING WITH MILD SCOLIOSIS!!! 🔴 BENCH, DEADLIFT & SQUAT!!!

Omg I really look forward to applying this in my routine!! U rock Jeff.
Whoever dislikes this video is a “half later”
Even though this video is supposed to concentrate on the lats, it is amazing how jeff's biceps really stand out and show us how incredible his biceps really are (see ex 2 at 2:40)
Wow did these today. The incline cable excercise gave me the CRAZIEST LAT PUMP I HAVE EVER HAD!
Jeff I love your videos, I added all these exercises into my routine, love the single arm straight push down , my lower lats are showing a lot, then I use seal row underhand for thickness of the lower lats,
Hey Jeff, thanks so much for you're years of content. They really helped me through a lot of tough times!!!
Does every day cardio have a negative effect on muscle growth?
Hey man, I'm not a specialist but depending on what you're doing meaning where you put more emphasis on it will also define your body in that way of course, so just think of a body of a general football player where cardio > muscles in comparison to a body of a 100m runner where cardio < muscles, you see where I pointing at?
Yes
There's a reason why jeff doesnt do cardio.
*Question for "NEW FAST ACTION Q&A"*
Does Overhead Press & other overhead lifts [even when performed correctly] compresses the spine and stunts growth? I'm a 16yo who doesn't wanna stay 5'6" throughout his life.
And btw, *Thanks for all the great content so far! Video Quality has become even more awesome and so is Jesse's cameos.*
Aayush Jaiswal jeff jas made a video on this. But to sum it up lifting will not stunt your growth in anyway. The only way this could happen is if you severely injured your growth plates somewhere in the leg. Even still you should recover no problem. But also you can't expect to grow past 5'6, you may put on a few inches but unless you are a genetic freak you arent gonna be above 5'10
Listen to the Barbell medicine podcast: should kids be strength training. Really informative. But the short answer is that it doesn't stunt growth at all.
Jeff has also said if you’re doing a lift like a heavy squat, it’s always good to decompress in between sets by hanging from a pull up bar for a bit. Not required though
it really helps me trust these fitness videos when i can see their muscle actually contracting while they do it
Exelent, it was actually kinda nice to have jessie put everything together at the end for when i want to revisit the routine fast in the future 👍
i'm still joking from “That is called the knee thrasher”😂😂😂
