Best Exercise(s) for the V?

[B.Reel]

What are some of the better exercises for making these lats pop out?

 

[tman55]

pullups

 

[huskyguy]

pullups

Agreed one of the best

 

[adidamps2]

if you cant do pull/chin ups do cable lat pull downs wide grip.

 

[Suareezay]

rack chins

when i do chins i can get 3 sets of 8-7-6. is that enough volume or should i trow a little maching work in there?

 

[AngryMuscles]

if you are strong enough, try weighted chin-ups

then hit it when heavy bent rows

then let genetics do its work

 

[blackbeard]

lat pull downs would be at the bottom of the list

chins/pullups use the assist machine if you cant do at least 2 sets of 5 with good form by yourself or have a buddy hold your feet

heavy BB Rows need to be a staple as well

 

[jcp2]

probably pullups, and rows. And a diet.

My back workout is as follows. What ya think? volume?

Chins 3/8-7-6

Deads 3/10-8-6

DB Rows 3/8-7-6

the biceps...

BB curl 2/8-6
DB curl 2/8-6

i love getting in and out of the gym quick. no more than 40 mins. strength and size with this has been slow, but the weight iIS going up

rack chins w\weight is great...but lets not forget the smaller the waist the better your v looks. WHen i am dietted down my waist size comes down and my V taper is even better.


Best of luck

I like the back workout, drop the deads to 2 sets of 5 increasing weight each week and drop to 1x5 as they get stronger. Working up. Deads in the higher rep range is probably not going to be as beneficial, no need going down in reps. If you are going to do the deads last from time to time, you can do them in the rack from just under the knee for sets of 8-10 or from the floor from 8-10 for a couple sets. Doing them at the end sucks and is a good change from time to time. Give it a shot.

100% on the diet bringing out the V. Maybe i'l diet next year LOL, i'm trying to grow as much as possible now.

JCP2, would you recommend dropping all of the major compound lifts to 2-3 sets of 5? I like my shit simple

 

[jcp2]

do what works, deads are different than any other exercise, i always found them most effective in a lower rep range. I like back exercises in the 8-12 range, but a change isn't a bad thing, especially if trying to get stronger.

Arnold use to do 5x10 to warm up for a back routine. I resently tried it and now realize why he is Arnold.
