How To Build A Back That Looks Wide From The Front

Your back might look big from behind, but from the front, where people actually see you, it still looks narrow. Here's why, and exactly how to fix it! In this video, you'll learn which muscle really makes you look wide from the front, the five mistakes that keep your lats from growing, and a simple twice-a-week back routine built for width. Plus the one small change in where your elbows go that makes your lats work harder on every single pull. Everything here is based on research, including a study where trained lifters did lat pulldowns with one arm through the full range and the other in only the stretched half, and both arms grew the same. Take a front photo today, follow the routine for 12 weeks, and compare. Subscribe for the full series on building a wide, athletic upper body. Sources: Wolf et al.
