What's the best exercises to get the best lats?
pullups, snatch grip deadlifts, dips are fairly good also.

on a related note: can anyone recommend whether I should be doing my pullups on a straight bar or angled bar?
I've been generally doing them on an angled pull up grip but just tried straight bar today. Didn't feel much of a difference

My moneys on this and the one where you grab a bar or rope attached to a cable in front of you at neck height, stick your ass out slightly and bring your arms straight down. Don't know what its called though. Cable push downs?

Sounds like standing cable push downs.. Sorta like a dumbbell pullover but not
>Pullups/chinups are mandatory
>Pulldowns - Matt ogus has a good vid on how to do them properly
>Barbell rows- check Ed Coans deadlift accessory vid for ideal form
>Kroc style dumbell rows
I've also heard meadows rows are amazing but I have yet to try it

For the traps, maybe. But lats? Nah.
>>36771475
Treat weighted pullups like a primary compound like bench or squat
At this point I really think that pull-ups are the best for lats, better than chins or rows. I don't really know why, but it's gotten me much better results than anything else.

Why not listen to the guy famous for them der lattisimuss dorsi.
who invented a few lattercizes
chins for lats
snatch grip high pull to widen out shoulders for monster base
DL for more lats
>>36771475
Do close (as in hands less than a foot apart) thumbless grip weighted chinups, with your legs pointed infront of your body to isolate the fuck out of your lats
>>36771509
Good pump, and bicep work
>>36771475
only listen to me, none of these people know what they're talking about.
>barbell rows
>dumbell rows
>close grip chinups
these are your essentials.
all this fucking conflicting advice.
I can't wait for the day where we just shred our muscles with precision lasers for gains
>>36773129
>snatch grip high pull
what does that do? looks more like a trap exercise
>>36771475
rings nigga
pullups, skin the cats, muscle ups, levers.
the list goes on and on

Get one that has both so you can do pullups/chinups and neutral grip. Then switch it up on a rotation. For example, I do 5x10 pullups each day that I work out like this:
Week 1:
>Mon: 5x10 regular grip pullups
>Wed: 5x10 neutral grip
>Fri: 5x10 regular grip
Week 2:
>Mon: 5x10 regular grip
>Wed: 5x10 chinups
>Fri: 5x10 regular grip
Then I just repeat that rotation. Lats have been blowing up.
