back width!!

[syko]

I noticed that deads, bent over BB rows and all rowing movements cause my back to get thick, but i want to really add more width...get em to stick out further from my ribcage than they do now....
Is lat pulldowns/wide grip chins/pullups the only way to go for this??

Im not planning on adding these to pullinbigs program that im doing, but i am just wondering for future reference...

I think wide grip pullups have helped me the most. But I can't do them now because they fuck with my shoulder....

 

[syko]

I find that with the wide grip pulldowns and pullups, they always tend to bring my shoulders and my biceps more when im nearing failiture....i dont know why....
Im thinking of starting to do lighter weights and higher reps for burnouts to see if that works....?

use a wider grip on your bent over rows.

I do close grip bent over rows (the one where the barbell is inbetween your legs, and your lifting the bar w/ a pull bar).

Are these good for overall back? I usually do deads, bent rows (the ones I described above), lat pull down, and standing pull down (cable).

Isn't the wider for thickness more a myth? Isn't it just about proper exercise selection and execution?
