V-taper
Has anyone heard of doing deadlifts with a spread lat "relaxed pose"? I saw it on the fit show and it looked interesting. Its supposed to help with the v-taper, but it looks awkward and you can't use as much weight. I noticed that they used a wide grip for regular deadlifts and the variation spread deadlift. I always did them with shoulder width grip. They also did chins and pulldowns with a wide grip. I never did them that way because it feels weird and I heard it can hurt your shoulders (even though mines bothering me anyway). The lat spread is one area I could never develope well. I have good mid-back thickness and some width right under my armpits and then at the bottom, kind of straight in between instead of the arc shape you want. Any ideas how to fill this in or will just going heavier and gaining weight do it?
Right now I'm doing 1-arm rows, upright row, chins, and pullovers for back.
