When you see an
Mr. Olympia contestants do a twisting back shot we can't help being
impressed by the way their lower lats muscles sweep all the way down and
insert into the waistline. This gives the lats muscles a terrifically
aesthetic look.
To develop
the lower lats muscles, you need to do your back exercises with a very
narrow grip - close grip chins and close grip pulldowns, for example -
as well as one arm cable rows and one arm dumbbell rows. It is also
important to do stretches between sets, grabbing hold of something with
one hand at a time and really pulling until you can feel the lower lats
muscles almost down to the hip.
Well-developed lower lats muscles will also help you in rear back poses
because they come down at an angle and form a kind of frame that shows
off a well striated lower back.
