I actually can do a good 15 or so chin ups and about 8 pull ups. Somehow for having such loudy lats Ive gotten pretty strong. Chelsea

 

[chicmuscle]

i had a feeling that you could do chin ups and pull ups. hmmm,,, i guess just try what we recommended and SQUEEEEZE the hell out of them lats, do slow reps too, SQUEEZE at the bottom and top of the exercise. show em whos boss

I'm the exact opposite of you here Chelsea, my lats over power my rhomboids. I've been focusing on brining up my middle back for the past 8 weeks. God love the genetics!! Anyways, here's my old program if you wanna give it a go...

Pull Ups or Chins
Dual Pulley Lat Pull Downs
One Arm Rows/Seated Row (Alternated Weeks)
Pull Overs
Back Extensions

Brenny,
Funny how we have the exact opposite problems. How are you doing trying to balance things? Chelsea

Frosty, Ducky, Chichy,
Thanks for all the help. Im trying to really target those lats so we will see how it goes. Ive changed my back routine to include chin ups, reverse grip deadlifts, pull downs, straight arm pull downs, seated row. Im also trying to just focus on feeling my lats contract, sometimes even when Im just around the house so I can get used to the feeling. I sure hope I dont lose my "line backer delts" once my lats start working. I really kind of like having big delts. Chelsea

heres a suggestion not to loose delts.

do a back day where you are focusing on lats. workout your delts like you usually do, but,,,, do another back day where you do it in your old form. there you wont loose those delts and you can develope those lats.
