Ok, call me stupid, but forever I always had trouble "isolating" (so to speak) my lats when doing pulldown and rows.

Well two weeks ago, my brain unlocked a secret door during an heavy set of T-bar rows (heavy for me is 150 pounds x 6 reps x 5 sets, in case you’re curious). God! It feels so great to feel your whole upperback contract to lift the pounds. Plus, in two weeks in nearly increased my load by 15%, which was impossible before because my arms were failing me.

I hired a few personal trainers in the past, and all they were "lift the weight trying to snap your scapulae together". Shitty advice: that’s only half the trick. They should have said: "lift the weight trying to snap your scapulae together, as  if you had were prosthetic arms".

Another step toward cobra lats

Cheers,
