maximize lat length??

[angang]

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there's a way to develop your lats to grow down alongside your back. Mine are well developed, wide but "short". the only exercise i cant do is chins (i workout at home...) any thoughts??

Do pullups. If you can't, either buy a pullup bar or make one.

If your lats are truely short, there's nothing you can do to change that. You can't change the insertion point of the muscle, but you can make the muscle thicker.

try stretching your lats between each set. Pull one arm at a time and really feel the pull. This will help elongate your lat and bring out thickness.

So its going to stretch out its appearance based on that? Nice little dream you have going there.
