Dave Draper’s Musclebuilding Q&A

I’m 59, lean, been weight training a long time… just wish I could grow some lats.

With no other info, I suggest the following exercise choices to keep you busy, maximum risk-free intensity and full range-of-motion being accented:

Widegrip chins to front and rear

Widegrip pulldowns

Full range of motion seated lat rows

Widegrip bentover barbell row — pull bar to pec area

Full range of motion one-arm rows — lengthy stretch

Higher reps, 10 to 12 range on cable work with some 6-8 thrown in — 4 sets per exercise
10, 8, 6 reps on bar work — 4 sets per exercise

Choose 2 or 3 exercises and give them 4 to 6 week cycles to maximize lat modification possibilities.

The older we are the tougher it is to affect structural improvements.
