WORKOUT FOR BIGGER LATS
Having a mile wide lats is one very hard target for all weight lifters, it is probably one of the most important and biggest muscles next to legs and chest. One very big mistake of many lifters is that they don't focus a lot on their back muscles and just trying to build bigger chest and arms and the reason for that is that they can't see back muscles in the mirror and they don't consider having a big back as a very important thing.
That is wrong, having a big back is very important and very important among bodybuilders. Also, it is very important to build all muscles equally and have a proportional physique.
To build bigger back you have to build biggest back muscle - LATS (latissimus dorsi). Building bigger lats you will get wider and your overall physique would look more massive.
