- To be able to utilize a free weight movement such as the Pull Up to get even larger Lats, Rhomboids and Middle Traps, make sure to also train the opposite muscle groups. If you don't, you can get strength imbalances.
- 4-6 sets for each weight training session is all you need in order to trigger growth in your Latissimus Dorsi and Rear Deltoids.
- Too much time spent weightlifting in any one power training session, can easily reduce testosterone (and libido) levels as well as generate the usual symptoms of overtraining such as: moodiness and irritability, headaches and depression and apathy.
- You may well be hitting the Lats and Rhomboids much more than you appreciate, not just when doing multi-joint compound exercises like the Pull Up in your gym routines.
- These muscles get a good workout during a set of a lot of other upper body exercises.
- Getting even bigger Back and Posterior Delts, might be more about a good diet and harmonizing cardiovascular exercise with your bodybuilding, as opposed to doing the Pull Up.
Contingent upon your training aspirations, you will either need to:
- total focus on the Lats and Posterior Delts by themselves, if for example the objective is to develop muscle size and definition, and / or
- aim much more on building force through the exercise if the principal goal is to get stronger.
